I was told by a good friend and fellow writer/director Phil Donohue that the best place to go when you can’t stand your home office any longer is the public library. You can’t use your cell phone. You can’t eat or drink. You can’t talk. Congrats to him for finishing a feature script thanks to the Pasadena library. It’s working for me too as we speak! I read a nice quote to sum up my feelings lately…”The best relationship is give and take where you are inspiring each other.”( Daniel Pearl, cinematographer) Film is a tough business and it takes a lot of refocusing and back-to-square-one tactics. The one thing I know always works for me is to surround myself with people doing amazing things of their own. The longer I live out here, the more I realize that directing a good movie means years of learning EVERYTHING you can from people you admire. This is a new pic of one of the hardest working actresses I have ever met, Miss Eli Jane.

I was part of a project not too far back for a fun new advertisement from Avatar Labs. This is a picture of the great group of ladies I worked with that day. Shout out to Casey Peters, a BOP alum for setting up that gig for me. Now go kill us with tire irons at THIS SITE (scroll to the bottom and click on THETA PI OR DIE game) It is for the new movie ‘Sorority Row’ starring Rumor Willis. Casey and I are working on a new web series that should start filming next year!!!

In between all the job hunting, editing, and hustling, I did sneak away this past weekend to two cool events. I went back to be in a wedding for one of my oldest friends in MI on Friday. We had such a blast and it’s always cool to be around two people that are whole heartedly in love. Then I hopped on a plane back to Cali for an awesome charity event for the California Wildlife Center. This animal center is dear to me, and if you have any spare change laying around, throw it their way! This is a pic of myself and Jeff Hall at the event. Jeff works so hard at CWC and is the reason Burn One ever got involved with the center. That is it for now. I have to get back to work. Something big is about to happen I just sense it because I can’t sleep again!!! xxo Ash
