Ashley Casperite is a former tech employee working to turn her 2023 layoff into a line on her Wikipedia page. She brings a fresh, inclusive voice to the screen after spending the decade after film school chasing health insurance.

A prolific writer at the intersection of multiple identities, Ashley delivers character-driven stories with strong emotional cores that resonate with diverse audiences. Her first-ever festival submission—psychological thriller, Retro—received a second round finish in the Austin Film Festival. Her queer love letter to the romcom genre, The Sidekick, was recently a semifinalist at the Imagine This Women’s Film Festival and currently sits in the top 20% of active comedy scripts on Coverfly.

Ashley lives in NYC with her partner and two fluffy freeloaders. She is actively seeking representation.
