43-On The Record: What You Believe Determines Your Outcome

A provocative, ambitious, and engaging producer, Adryenn Ashley has

taken the independent film community by storm with groundbreaking

documentary and feature projects. She has never been shy about

tackling a hard subject or a controversial fire storm.

When Ashley's early acting career was cut short by an injury, the

tenacious Northern Californian stayed in the game seeking original

independent projects to produce. Her first feature, Metal, was shot

in just 8 days in the rough neighborhood of Hunter's Point, San

Francisco. Ashley's production of this gritty and dramatic portrayal

of a poor black family in turmoil went on to receive stellar reviews

and awards at festivals worldwide. It premiered, and was a critical

favorite, at the Mill Valley Film Festival, won the Jury Prize at the

Pan African Film Festival, and Best Picture at the Seattle Underground

Film Festival and continued to win prizes around the globe for 2

years.

Her IMDB is stacked with other juicy projects and at present, Ashley

has four television shows in pre-production with her company, 21st

Century Pictures Group, and is venturing back in front of the camera

to host The F Word.  She is also the founder of Crowded Reality, the

world's first crowdfunding platform for reality tv and talk shows that

gives content creators the ability to not only fan-fund their pilot,

but attract sponsors and distribution as well.
