Gross is from Toronto, and graduated from the American Film Institute in 2007. With Jesse Shapira finding the book Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey Into a Minor Hockey League and envisioning a film adaptation, Shapira, Gross and No Trace Camping partners co-produced the 2011 film Goon. David Gross Productions Inc. later co-produced The F Word (2013) and Room (2015). Gross advocated for keeping the title The F Word for its Canadian release, although the Motion Picture Association of America found issues with it.
With Room, Gross persuaded his Irish co-producers to shoot in Canada rather than the United States, saying they could have a longer schedule and more money in Canada. He accepted the Canadian Screen Award for Best Motion Picture for Room in 2016.
