Biography
In 2008, Truss directed his first short film, a horror-comedy called Employee of the Dead. The film starred his friend Rob Knox (Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) who was murdered a few weeks later in a knife attack.[1][2] Truss would go on to produce the anti-knife crime film, Cold Kiss, which featured Ray Winstone.[3][4] In 2020, he resumed his directing career with the short film The Understudy, which was filmed for Halloween in order to raise money for the Bromley Little Theatre.[1][5] His next film was (K)nox: The Rob Knox Story, released on April 9, 2021, which highlights the knife crime crisis in the UK, following the death of Rob Knox. The documentary was commissioned as an exclusive for ITVX in January 2023 on UK television.[6]
Following the success of (K)nox: The Rob Knox Story, Truss’s next project was Pareidolia, a short horror film adapted from one of his father’s (Aiden Truss) short stories.[1] Pareidolia premiered at FrightFest on August 28, 2023, and features an ensemble cast including Diane Franklin, Graham Cole, Carolyn Pickles, Joe Acres and Sandy Johnson.[7][8]
Truss is also the co-director of the annual Rob Knox London Film Festival [9] and is a judge at the London Independent Film Festival.[10]
