Biography

Originally from San Francisco, Russ spent his childhood in both Japan and the United States, developing a global perspective early on.

After earning degrees in Cinema-Television, International Relations, and Japanese from the University of Southern California, and gaining additional production experience at UCLA Extension, he established Russem Productions in 2002. Through this company, he promoted his short films, including "Her Knight" (2003), the award-winning "Girl with Gun" (2006), "The Assassin's Apprentice: Silbadores of the Canary Islands" (2017) starring Robert Picardo and Marina Sirtis, and the documentary "Restoration of Paradise" (2014).

He also produced shorts such as "Mavet" (2004), the zombie film "The Diary" (2004), the vampire movie "Perfect Red" (2006), as well as the web series "Cult 11" (2010) and "The Meeting" (2013), directing two episodes in each.

His notable feature film, "Occupants: IndieGoGo Video" (2015), won the "Best Sci-Fi Feature Film" Award at Shriekfest and was an Official Selection at San Diego Comicon. The film received coverage in the Huffington Post and marked Russ’s fourth feature film, following "Heaven's Messenger" (2007, also known as "P.J.: A Journey of the Heart"), "Chasing the Green" (2009), and "The Legends of Nethiah" (2012).

Russ currently lives in Huntington Beach, California.
