About Ashton

  • Share profile:
Award winning Producer , Producer / Director, with over 15 years experience in the film industry working on Feature Films, Television Dramas, Commercials and Corporates. I also write and occasionally operate a camera.

I started making films when I was 10 years old and I'm still as excited about it now as I was then.

I've done other exciting things too like being a soldier and a photographer but nothing quite beats film making.

I worked on big feature films for many years in locations and production. It was alot of fun working with big crews on big movies but it's great to be back making films myself, even if they are alot less... big.

I recently produced a film about Cyber criminals bringing down a big corporation which was kinda fun and won lots of awards too - felt like making a big movie again (except for the budget).

If you have a film project that needs to look big on a small budget or you'd just like to work with an overgrown 10 year old, give me a call (before bedtime) on 07802 331539 or mail: ashton@locationpictures.co.uk.
