Jessica Ashman is an animator and director who specialises in stop-frame animation and digital illustration. Graduating in 2007 with a BA(hons) Animation, her student film, The Seeds of Change was selected for two UK festivals. She has recently finished a Skillset/Scottish Screen funded animation training scheme, working on BBC Scotland's childrens animated series Ooglies and Glasgow based design studio, ISO Design.
Jessica has been shortlisted by Digicult for her project Fall Into Position.
In a crooked shack in the midst of a wild forest live two siblings, Ragdoll Girl and Clockwork Boy. Every day, Girl helps Boy to complete his obsessive, nonsensical routines with no thought of Girl's wants and needs. On the outside, Girl resents Boy, but at night we see a different side - a side where she endeavours to literally 'fix' and free her brother of his obsessions. But when she's faced with the opportunity to mend his personality forever, does she act on it? Based on my experiences of growing up with an Autistic brother, Fall Into Position is a tale of hope, determination and acceptance.
