Jamie Ross is a visual artist and filmmaker. Often collaborating with experts on their projects, the artist has worked with malacologists and their sprawling Victorian mollusk collections, scientific glassblowers, retired prima ballerinas, and incarcerated neo-Pagans in Quebec. Ross was awarded Best Short Film (Hot Docs, 2022) for their theatrical debut film, Dad Can Dance. Awarded a Fulbright Scholarship, Jamie uncovered a Queer Victorian secret society and underground seashell museum raided by the Los Angeles police in 1914 and moved to Los Angeles to elevate the club’s story with an ongoing film and exhibition series. Ross is currently in production on their first feature-length film about Montreal queer ecology and public sex with production house EyeSteelFilm. Ross is based in Los Angeles and Montreal.
