Ashleigh Ashley

Ashleigh Ashley is a creative producer working across the commercial, film and television pipeline. She has a passion for stories that explore and celebrate the human condition and is a strong advocate for gender equality, all round diversity and mental health in the screen industries.

Having started her career in advertising production, Ashleigh is well-versed in producing commercials and branded content, with recent credits including spots for New Balance (for Pulse Films) and M.A.C (Steve McQueen’s Lammas Park). Her multi-platform experience means she has a unique perspective on how to produce and package content for an ever-changing market. Her four years in distribution at Disney has meant she’s always thinking about ways to maximise franchise possibilities, with her two years on BAFTA Elevate providing a gateway for her to bring these skills into the long-form narrative/HETV space.

Ashleigh has coordinated on such shows as We Hunt Together (2019) and Top Boy (2022). She has also recently been shortlisted for two associate producer roles – for Sky’s Amadeus and BAFTA nominee Akinola Davies’ first feature film – and her first long-form producer credit seems inevitable.

For Ashleigh, people and story are the heart of the business. This ethos is readily illustrated in her short-form narrative work, including the BFI Network-funded short film, My Brudda (2023). It’s also evident in the forthcoming slate of narrative projects she’s developing through her company, Our House Pictures, which was a 2024 beneficiary of the Creative Enterprise Foundation’s screen business programme.
