I’m Ross Pollard, a BA Hons Film Production graduate from the University of the Creative Arts Farnham, class of 2020. I focused on directing, with hands-on experience in producing, editing and first assistant directing. This is where I discovered a love for documentary-making and shooting shorts, and I aim to lead my own projects within a creative business. I’m committed and driven, with a clear understanding of the filmmaking process and the planning skills to deliver assignments on time, to a high quality, and on budget. I have two graduation films—'Beauty': A mysterious woman hunts humans in a dystopian world, and 'A Real Superhero' — there are nominations and ten awards between them. I served as 1st AD on Beauty, managing shoot day schedules, night shoots, safety protocols and daily production coordination; and as Producer and 1st AD. A Real Superhero, handling finances, location scouting, talent coordination and clearances. I’m a sensible, reliable team player who thrives on collaboration and on turning creative visions into actionable plans. I’m excited to join a company that I can help grow their business while I take the next step in my career.…I’m Ross Pollard, a BA Hons Film Production graduate from the University of the Creative Arts Farnham, class of 2020.
