Ann Sullivan-Cross is a San Francisco Bay Area-based filmmaker and creative director. She studied literature and film theory at Stonehill College and went on to write plays, one of which was staged Off-Broadway at the Jean Cocteau Repertory Theater in New York. Her first short film, Only The Drum, was selected for a number of film festivals, including Albany Film Fest and Long Beach International Film Festival. Ann finds inspiration in the world of magical realism, where the suspension of disbelief opens space for greater human connection and understanding.
