Ashley Karras, Director
An Ogden , Utah native, Ashley Karras received her BS from Utah State University where she studied journalism and visual arts. With her directorial debut, “The Inheritance of War,” Karras displays her inherent capacity for journalism and artistic expression by unlocking the raw emotions that grip the heart from the opening scene to the closing credits. At age 23, her passion for detail lines everything she touches with silver stitching traditionally reserved for veteran filmmakers. Karras has worked in the realms of live television, corporate video and has assisted other directors in documentaries, features and shorts. She works as a freelance videographer and hopes to change the world, one documentary at a time.
