The Elegant Angel production, which stars Octavia Red, earned a rave review from XBIZ in January, an Editor’s Choice review from AVN in April, and in May, Ross took home three trophies for Through Her Lens at Italy’s DSN Awards, marking a major career milestone for the Italian-born director/writer/editor.
“I’m incredibly proud and grateful that Through Her Lens has been recognized with Best Feature at the NightMoves Awards” Ross shared. “This project means so much to me, and seeing it receive this honor is truly special. My sincere thanks to Art Koch and everyone at NightMoves for this recognition; to Chura for believing in my vision and supporting this project; and to Elegant Angel for making it possible. A special thank you to the wonderful Octavia Red for her talent and trust, and above all, to my extraordinary crew, whose creativity, dedication, and hard work brought this film to life. I couldn’t have done it without them!”

ABOUT CLAUDIA ROSS:
Award-winning adult filmmaker Claudia Ross, daughter of the late renowned director Ugo Ross, has a connection to the adult industry that is both deeply personal and professional. She grew up with adult cinema in her DNA, sharing a rare distinction with industry legend Axel Braun: both are Italian-born, second-generation adult directors who inherited a legacy, learned the craft from the inside, and carved out their own creative identities behind the camera.
For 25 years, Ross worked as Braun’s closest collaborator, contributing to some of the most acclaimed and commercially successful productions of his career through her work in editing, art direction, production design and creative development. That experience gave her a broad understanding of the moviemaking process, from concept and visual style to pacing, performance and final execution.
Two years ago, Braun penned the script for Ross’ debut feature, The Hunger, giving her the opportunity to step fully into her own role as a filmmaker. The result introduced her as a director with a refined visual sensibility, a command of mood and atmosphere, and an instinctive, deeply personal understanding of sensual storytelling.
Her 2025 Elegant Angel feature, Through Her Lens, starring Octavia Red, builds on that promise with a stylish, emotionally charged production that showcases Ross’ ability to blend eroticism, atmosphere and character-driven storytelling.
The movie earned a rave review from XBIZ in January, an Editor’s Choice review from AVN in April, and in May, Ross took home three trophies for Through Her Lens at Italy’s DSN Awards, marking a major career milestone for the Italian-born writer/editor/director. The movie is currently nominated for Best Feature Film, and Ross for Best Feature Director, at the 2026 NightMoves Awards.
Ross recently wrapped the feature Cherry On Top, also written by Braun and starring Cherry Kiss and Octavia Red, for Elegant Angel. Her follow-up feature, Octavia Loves Girls, is slated for release in September.
She resides in Los Angeles.
