Peter John Ross

Jump to

Peter John Ross was formerly a broker for a large evil bank. Then after making several corporate videos and optioning screenplays to the studios, he moved on to make the 'Back Office' short film series for the internet. Along with several accolades came the swift change in careers to full time filmmaker when the opinions on Corporate America appeared as themes in the Back Office shorts, and he was fired. Sonnyboo Productions began self producing videos and films in early 2000. After that, Ross acted as a co-writer & co-producer on the feature length movie "Going Corporate", and immediately took on the sci-fi pilot for a series called "New World". Since then, Ross has worked on several feature length and short films. Most importantly, Peter John Ross founded the Columbus Filmmakers Consortium (www.thecfc.org), a non profit group to help filmmakers in the Midwest.

Named after Cincinnati Reds baseball players "Pete Rose" and "Johnny Bench".
Never attended film school
Only goes by "Ross", if you call him "Peter", he will assume you are a bill collector and not respond
Was fired as a broker specifically for making The Manhattan Project (2003) on corporate premises in 2000
Named after Cincinnati Reds' players "Pete Rose" and "Johnny Bench"

I made Horrors of War (2006) as my first feature film because I don't want to be pigeon holed into one genre. A cross genre, WWII action sci fi horror movie with drama and comedy seemed about right for me to start with.
If you can afford film school, I highly recommend going. If not, don't let that stop you either.
