Ash Gibb

Biography

Ash Gibb is a 34-Year-old filmmaker who combines over ten years of experience in social work and leadership with film production, delivering a unique approach to screen storytelling.
Ash is a proud Wiradjuri man who entered the film industry for the right reasons. Inspired by his culture he uses his skills in Research/ Development, Writing/Directing and Cinematography to capture authenticity and truth within our society, in Australia and abroad.
Growing up on the Coffs Coast, Ash pretty much lived in the water and has an undeniable connection with the ocean and the natural world. This way of living has shaped the values in which he lives by and informs the direction and intention of the work he does, with social and environmental impact being at the core of his work.
During his social work career, Ash recognised the potential for large scale social and environmental change using film production and storytelling. From these early stages, Ash sought to develop a broad skillset in film production to use alongside his formal training in human services. Today, this has resulted in the culmination of expertise including motivational interviewing, counselling, service and program management, human behaviour, senior leadership, staff development, funding procurement, tender writing, reporting, WH&S leadership, project management and the fundamentals of screen storytelling.
Ash has now made the transition to filmmaking full time and is pursuing his love for storytelling with his first crew role being secured in early 2021 as a Shooter Associate Producer on the Documentary series “Lost For Words” with Endemol Shine which was broadcasted by SBS in September 2021.
Following this he was successful in being supported by Screen Australia and is currently completing an Enterprise People Placement hosted by Wild Pacific Media where he has had intensive Director Mentorship for a period of over twelve months to date.
Ash simply puts his heart and soul into his work and does this work because he cares.
