I’m Sydney Ross, a creative writer and development professional with extensive experience in the film and television industry. I love supporting writers in writers’ rooms, developing concepts, and shaping stories through research, outlining, and collaborative storytelling.
I bring a Millennial perspective with Gen Z fluency, staying in touch with current events, pop culture, and social media trends to inform fresh, accessible storytelling. I’m excited to contribute to bold projects and, one day, to create my own television show.
