Testimonials
“When shooting a film, time is money. Every moment and interaction counts to ensure a successful shoot. I can assure you that Ashley is vital to our motion picture and film industry. Creating a smooth process for the Directors, Producers, Cast & Crew. We were so fortunate to have someone as experienced as Ashley on our set.”

“Ashley’s work was invaluable on the recent world premiere production of Thomson Highway’s big, beautiful musical, Rose, which I directed at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
The play required a lot of work involving Ashley’s expertise and, to a person, the company felt her involvement was vital to the success of their engagement with us. In a recent postmortem with the cast, everyone of the nineteen cast members cited Ashley’s work on this show as invaluable.
Ashley worked closely with me on the scenes requiring intimacy and from my perspective the process was very positive. The artists involved were able to explore safely and with a shared language provided by Ashley as they navigated the beats and fulfilled the arc of the moment.
I am grateful for Ashley’s contribution to this work and will certainly seek her out for future
projects requiring her expertise.”
Kevin Loring, Director, Rose
