Russ Troutt

Born and raised in small town in Southeast Tennessee. Growing up some people made fun of my friends and I for always making home movies. One moment in my life I will never forget is sitting down with my guidance councilor in eighth grade. When asked what I wanted to do with my life I answered to be an actor and make movies. I was laughed at and told I need to choose a serious career path and something to do with my life. I laughed at her and got up and walked out in anger. That moment inspired me more than ever to follow my passion of making movies. As I've gotten older I've became more focused on writing and wanting to direct. Still would like to do a little acting on the side though.
