Beth Ashby

An award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker from the Midwest, Beth Ashby perpetually digs for the richer, stranger meaning beneath the outer crust of the ordinary. Before pursuing her MFA at Columbia, Beth worked as a writer, director, and production designer on commercials and digital series for brands including Build-a-Bear, Cepia, and SEGA. Her numerous awards include: first place in Champion Screenwriting Competition and second place in Scriptapalooza, and her independent film work has screened at festivals in two countries, including The Female Eye Film Festival. Her work centers around the fantastical on a personal scale.
