about me
Hi, my name is Ashlin. I am a freelance storyteller with a diverse background in musical theatre, film and animation. I love to explore stories about queerness, identity, and human connection through whichever medium I think will serve the story best. Highly creative and always open to a new challenge.

ask me for
Stories giving voice to minority groups, especially surrounding queer and trans experiences. Stories about human connection and experiences, tales with a hint of magic realism or anything to do with dance and movement as a form of visual language.

remarks
I am a passionate storyteller who is always eager to explore alternative methods of storytelling. I enjoy playing with modes of communication and visual language through editing, music and cinematography and am always open to new experimental methods that might want to be explored.
