INTERN UPDATES

There are many individuals who have the determination and motivation to learn, although they lack the creative outlet to do so. Ashley Productions offers internships to individuals interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. The company provides hands-on training, allowing their interns to explore and gain opportunities for themselves, which are beneficial for their future endeavors in entertainment.

Jacqueline Ashley prides herself in helping others succeed in this competitive industry. As a woman and ethnic minority herself, she is especially dedicated to helping other women and minorities. Many of Ashley Productions' past interns have continued on to successful careers due to her guidance and support as well as that of her husband, William, in addition to the knowledge and experience that was gained from their internship with Ashley Productions. In late 2000, Daniel Zizmor, a former intern, obtained a position working for George Lucas' visual effects company, Industrial Light and Magic, where he was part of the technical support team that worked on Jurassic Park III. He most recently worked on the much anticipated Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and had a small onscreen role as a Jedi knight. Another former intern, Patrina Chin, in mid-2001, began working on NBC'S popular television series, The West Wing, starring Martin Sheen. She has recently moved from The West Wing and now works for Warner Brothers Television.
