Ashley Salaz

About the Artist

Ashley Salaz is an Indigenous storyteller who specializes in capturing the stories of marginalized groups. Her love of photography and cinema was sparked at a young age, and after graduating from the University of Southern California, she pursued a career in the film industry as a self-taught screenwriter. Ashley’s first script awarded her a spot in the 2010 National Hispanic Media Coalition’s TV Writers Program. 

​

After completing two TV pilots, Ashley realized that she may never see her stories come to life unless she learned how to use a camera herself. While learning to shoot, she made her first short documentary about the graffiti scene in Oakland and fell in love with the unscripted format. 

​

In 2022, she was selected as a fellow for the Native American Media Alliance’s Unscripted Workshop where she developed Little River and pitched the film to industry professionals.

​

Ashley is currently raising funds to complete production of Little River.
