Ashley made a conscious decision to pursue filmmaking after experiencing "Slumdog Millionaire" at her hometown Regal Cinema in Yorktown, VA. As a Film and Video Studies major at George Mason University, Ashley realized her passion for producing, directing, and editing. Her first short "A Long Time Lost" screened at the Washington West Film Festival.
Applying the lessons she learned, Ashley focused on the story component of her senior project "Wingboys," allowing her to win the Best Story Pitch award and recieve a financial scholarship from George Mason to put towards production. "Wingboys" has screened at festivals locally and several around the country. Ashley also helped create the GMU Women in Film Week annual event and was a finalist out of 14 other young women for the Horizon Award for her short documentary "Kendra." She is currently an editor in D.C. and in the midst of writing a feature sci-fi comedy script.
I think what it means to "relate" to a story or character is to see and hear ourselves from a point of view outside of our own heads. We can look at a similar situation from all angles and not feel identified with the chaos in our lives and in our brains. We are a little more enlightened, and it feels good.
