Ella Janes knew she was going to be a director at seven years old when, in Los Angeles, California, she directed a parody mermaid film with her friends. Immediately after posting the parody to YouTube, Janes gained 2.8 million views. This attracted attention from Adolescent Content, with whom she would begin directing commercials for brands such as Crayola and Goldieblox.
In December of 2019 in Oklahoma City, Janes directed her first official directorial debut: CODE RED.
After premiering in 2020 at the deadCenter Film Festival, Janes began working on her next string of short films, leading to her being awarded the Silver Medal at YoungArts, as well as other awards such as the New Talent Award at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth and a Student Emmy.
Janes now continues her work while she attends the University of Southern California as a Trustee Scholar studying Film and Television Production.
