Ashna Sharan is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles, CA. She is actually an actress, but when Hollywood shut down in March 2020, she needed to find a way to stay creative. She opened her production company, As The Collective LA, in lockdown, and began to learn how to write, direct and produce films.

She always wanted to tell stories that shifted the narrative and included more diversity. This newfound free time in the pandemic allowed her that opportunity.

Her dream is to be on the big screen and make films that inspire positive change.
