Welcome. There are many aspects to Ross’ creative career;  screenwriting, directing, video editing, running film festivals. And is now an author! He writes one word; ‘journal’ and fancies himself an author. See for yourself. Ross is completing a story analysis course to add script reader to his resume.

Ross’ supernatural slasher screenplay, “The Ringmaster” received the accolade of Quarter-Finalist in the Filmmatic Horror Screenplay Awards in 2024. Upon release from prison, SMILES, an evil clown sells his soul to the devil to seek revenge on a Pastor’s family that helped place him there. Smiles’ son, RODNEY, a rockstar, battles him to protect the Pastor’s family and the town. With Rodney’s help, the Pastor’s son, JOHNNY, gets a second chance to confront Smiles.

Ross’ science fiction feature screenplay, “Rivals,” was a Quarter-Finalist in the Creative Screenwriting Unique Voices Competition in 2021. When two young paranormal investigators go missing at a mysterious mansion, a divorced couple, Neil and Jan, is brought back together to uncover the mansion’s secrets that will miraculously reunite them with their abducted son and save the world from an alien invasion.

In 2020, Ross was a Quarter-Finalist in The Script Lab Screenwriting competition for his screenplay, “American Quest.” “American Quest” is inspired by a true story about two Iranian male teenagers looking to get themselves smuggled out of 1980’s Iran into Pakistan in hopes of getting to America and the American dream.
