Contact
Email me. I read everything.
There's no form here on purpose — a form would just email me anyway, and this way you keep a copy of what you sent.
Ash@ashwinmitchell.com
The best and fastest way to reach me, for script requests, photography bookings and everything else.
Instagram is where the newest work goes up first. DMs work, but email gets a proper answer.
Quick links for common asks
- Request a full script — say which of the four and what you're looking for.
- Book unit stills — dates, location, and whether the production is union.
- Commission an editorial — the idea, even a rough one, plus your timeline.
- Headshots or a portrait session — studio or your location, and roughly when.
- Script services — notes, a rewrite, a polish or coverage on your material.
What to tell me
Five lines and I can give you a real answer.
You don't need a brief document. You need these:
What it is
A short film, a campaign, a vertical series, a pilot you want notes on. One sentence.
When
Shoot dates or a delivery date, even approximate. I teach on weekdays, so timing matters for scheduling.
Where
Los Angeles, elsewhere in California, or further. I travel; travel is quoted separately.
What the budget looks like
A range is fine. "We don't know yet" is fine. Silence is the only unhelpful answer, because then neither of us can tell if this is worth a call.
What you need out the other end
Number of finals, formats, what they're used for. For script work: format, page count and what stage the draft is at.
If you're an agent, manager or producer
Just say "send me X" and I'll send it. Four finished specs: IMPRESSIONS (feature), AFTER DEATH (hour anthology), HORNLINE (half-hour comedy) and LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN (feature). Samples of all four are already linked on the writing page.
Availability
I teach Digital Photography and art at St. Paul High School in Los Angeles, so weekday daytime needs notice. Evenings, weekends and school holidays are open, and I travel — three seasons of national dance competition touring say that's workable.
Placeholder — I haven't published a response time, so I'm not going to promise one here. In practice, email gets answered.
That's the whole site.
If you got this far you probably have something in mind. Tell me what it is — I'd rather hear a half-formed idea early than a finished brief too late.
