About Ashton

  • Share profile:
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.

Recently I have done alot of work for the Ministry of Defence. Having once been a soldier, getting to direct soldiers and tanks again was great and felt just like making a big movie, ......or being 10 again.

If you have a film project that needs to look like it's a big movie 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.
