ASHLEY P. JONES

MERAKI ARTISTS FILMS is headed by Ashley P. Jones. Ashley is a screenwriter, producer and actress with over ten years of film and television experience. In 2006, Ashley began her acting career in New York City and continued pursuing her passion in Atlanta, Georgia. She eventually found a love for being behind the camera as well and has honed her talents in writing and producing over the years.

Beginning as a production assistant in 2009 for an Atlanta-based production company, Bark-Bark, LLC, Ashley was able to learn and grow, and quickly became office coordinator and then production coordinator. Her notable clients included Lifetime, USA, PBS, Nickelodeon and Sprout TV.

In 2012, Ashley started APJ Productions, a production company whose productions included the 2013 short film, Bridges in Beaugarde. She served as executive producer, writer and actress in the film. A few years later, APJ Productions rebranded and became Meraki Artists Films.
