ABOUT
ME!
Ice Elloso was born and raised in Quezon City, Philippines. She speaks Filipino, English and Japanese or a combination of the three. Being a self-proclaimed equipment otaku, she followed her passion and got into filmmaking.
Combining her experiences in all sectors of video production, she is a very formidable “jack-of-all-video-trades”with a passion for creating high quality videos in the most efficient way.
In the future, her dream is to write and direct a number of cool lesbian action movies (as in awesome women loving women characters in the action movie genre, not porn.)
