BIOGRAPHY

Ellis Wallace was practically born in a car in Anchorage Alaska in 1991 and is still finding reasons to travel new places. He graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2013 with a B.F.A. double major in photography and creative writing. Ellis uses his experiences as a photographer and independent film industry professional to further the quality and efficiency of his role as talent on set. He loves working as a model and actor at least as much as he loves playing banjo, driving gravel roads, writing, doing improv comedy, collecting jackets, story-telling, and viewing art on a high-octane level.

His red hair has always garnered comments, attention, and sometimes hands as long as he has been around.

He has spent a lot of time around animals, cars, John Wayne movies, talented artists, and old furniture.
