A.C. Ross

A. C. Ross was born at a military hospital in Illinois. Her father was a photojournalist in the Army and her mother taught dance. For the first five years of her life, A. C. lived all over the east coast. At the age of five, her parents moved back to their hometown of Kirkwood, Missouri. A. C. graduated from Kirkwood High School and attended Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa on theater and music scholarships her freshman year. While in Iowa, A. C. received her first paid acting role as a featured extra in "My Father's Gun," which aired on the History Channel. Shortly thereafter, A. C. auditioned for and was accepted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. Craving warmer climates, A. C. requested and was granted a transfer to AADA - Los Angeles. The summer after her first year at the Academy, A. C. received another paying role when she was cast in "Music Man" at the Glendale Centre Theatre. This disqualified A. C. from attending AADA for the second year of the program. Without hesitation, she enrolled in film school at Columbia College - Hollywood where she majored in Directing and minored in Screenwriting. Before graduating with honors, A. C. obtained a paid internship at James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment. Once finished with her formal education, A. C. was hired as the Executive Assistant to the head of the Commercial/Music Video department, Gregg Dallesandro. Sheldon Prosnit Agency (now Artistry) is a below the line talent agency representing the top Directors of Photography and Production Designers in the entertainment industry. A year and a half into the job, A. C. learned something very valuable; she didn't want to be an agent. A. C. had lived a very fulfilling and fairly idyllic life up until that point. She decided it was time for some life experience. In 2007 A. C. moved to Dusseldorf, Germany to spend a year abroad. Life happened and one year turned into five. A. C.

Grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. She graduated from Kirkwood High School in 2001.
