Los Angeles · Available for 2026 projects
Screenwriter · Director · Photographer
I write the story and I can shoot it. An MFA screenwriter out of UCLA who spends his weeks on sets and in edit bays — so the script, the stills and the campaign images all speak the same language.
Ways to work together
Every project is different, so tell me the scope and I'll quote it. These are the starting points.
Scripts written from scratch, or an existing draft pulled into shape by someone trained to find the structural problem fast.

Selected work
The Getaway is a three-act editorial — a thief's escape across Los Angeles, structured as Chase, Calm and Reward. That is the whole pitch for hiring a writer to run your camera.
The scripts
Two features, an hour-long thriller anthology and a half-hour comedy. The loglines and reading samples are password-protected — enter the password to see them, or email Ash@Ashwinmitchell.com.
How it works
Scope, dates, location, what the material is for. One email is usually enough to know whether I'm the right fit.
Rate, deliverables, turnaround and usage — priced to the actual project rather than a package you don't need.
Fully processed images ready for press and marketing, or drafts on an agreed schedule with notes built in.
