Jessica Ashman
Writer/Animator, British - Fixing Luka
Jessica Ashman is an
award-winning filmmaker based in Glasgow. She specialises in
stop-motion and 2-D animation.
Fixing
Luka is Jessica’s first short animated film and was developed and produced
by DigiCult. She graduated in
2007 from the University of Lincoln, with a B.A (hons) in Animation,
where her student film, The Seeds of
Change gave her a taste (and hunger) for short film production.
In 2008,
she gained a place on the Skillset/Creative Scotland funded training scheme,
G.A.S.P (Generating Animation Skills Programme). This apprenticeship saw her
animating on BBC Scotland’s childrens series Ooglies and working in Glasgow based design studio, ISO. During
this period, Jessica was also selected to participate in DigiCult’s talent pool
on Scottish Digital Shorts (2010). Through the project’s development process,
she wrote Fixing Luka.
