Krista Hovsepian
Image Arts ’08
“Daniel De Santo, Image Arts ’03, and I have created a comedic digital media series called “Wholesome Foods I Love You… Is That OK?,” shot in Toronto. We both currently split our time between Toronto and L.A. The series is a romantic comedy about a lovably neurotic yoga teacher who stumbles upon her one true love: Wholesome Foods Market. As her obsession with the market grows, she plans daily trips there, eventually meeting her true love interest, Marko.”
