ABOUT ASHLEY
Ashley began his filmmaking career on movie sets in hollywood as a Directors assistant while still in college. Unsatisfied with finding purpose there, he pursued a successful small video production career making commercials and corporate videos. Even with that he felt that there was still something missing.
In 2010 Ashley made a film about missionaries on the field in the Philippines for his church. He saw the impact the video made and through that found the purpose he was looking for. Since starting Missionary Films in 2011 he has made 1000’s of ministry videos, worked with 100’s of ministries and missionaries, and traveled to over 25 countries making films that are part of sharing the greatest story on earth.
Today he continues to make videos for ministries while mentoring others to follow Jesus, and have a mission of making films.
Unlike other filmmaking courses your instructor, Ashley, is on mission making videos for ministries and missions all over there world. Because of that, he is only offering this course during limited times in the year. Learn from him through the course and through exclusive behind the scenes of his missionary filmmaker experiences.
