Synopsis
Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Rita Volk moved to San Francisco with her family when she was 6 years old. Approached by a modeling scout, Volk was given the opportunity to audition for commercials and instantly fell in love with acting. Through high school, Volk acted in school plays and further explored her burgeoning love for film, which, she claims, helped her and her family acclimatize to the American language and culture. After high school, Volk attended Duke University, where she graduated with a degree in psychology/pre-med. But she never lost sight of her passion for acting as she starred in student films and was a member of Inside Joke, Duke University's sketch comedy troupe.

Summer Days, Summer Nights

Almost Friends
A man in his mid-20s, still living at home with his mother and stepfather, puts all his eggs in one basket: the girl who works at his local coffee shop. The problem is, she has a serious boyfriend. As they become closer, the line between friendship and intimacy is blurred, and the situation forces both to examine where they are in their lives.
Faking It
A romantic comedy about two best friends who love each other -- in slightly different ways. After numerous failed attempts to become popular, the girls are mistakenly outed as lesbians, which launches them to instant celebrity status.

The Hungover Games
Each year, drunk people are selected to participate in torturous games the morning after a big night out. There's no sunglasses, no water, and no headache medicine. "The Hungover Games," a film that manages to merge the premises of both "The Hunger Games" and "The Hangover" and throw in references to "Ted," "Django Unchained," "The Lord of the Rings," "Carrie," "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and whatever else crossed the writers' fevered brains during the probably very drunken "development process."
