From national institutions to intimate non-profits, Ross mixes his lighthearted sensibilities with an understanding of organization needs to create unique content. His production and creative writing degree from Temple University blends with his comedy passion for quality, honesty, and entertainment.
Promotions, WHYY
Ross worked alongside WHYY’s promotions department to create weekly newsletters, edit and shoot TV promos, edit short-form programming, and drive home messages during pledge drives.
Here, Ross mastered adhering to a brand’s tone and ensuring all copy reads in the same voice. Click below to see clips from WHYY’s Yum, which Ross co-edited and produced along with Tony Sadowski.
Research, Glass Entertainment Group
In addition to auditioning actors and shooting promotional photos, Ross did research and assisted production for true crime shows on Investigation Discovery and Oxygen. He fact-checked script and on-screen graphics data, sought out local filming locations, and ensured consistency in episodic edits. Further, he worked on three episodes of the Killer Closer (above).
Ross wrote a treatment for a true-crime special about the life and crimes of Jennifer Pan, a murderer in Canada caught in a web of lies, which was later pitched to Oxygen. Click below to read the treatment.
Documentary Filmmaking
Produced at Temple University, Ross envisioned a documentary to explain why humans latch onto stuffed animals and other “comfort objects.” The film tracks the course of these possessions from early childhood through old age.
