Jonty Ross was born in Southampton England before his family would move to Perth Australia and then to Limerick Ireland when he was seven. He would start acting at the Limerick School Of Acting under Nigel Mericer and quickly discover he had a love for arts.

He won best pitch for a film script at Fresh Film, has been shortlisted for several funding schemes, and also runs the film group ‘Visionary Films Ireland’. Jonty is also a previous member of the Limerick Youth theatre and currently part of the Emerging Limerick Filmmakers, run by Pete Moles.
