Ashlyn Tatro

Ashlyn Tatro is the Development Coordinator at independent production company Bold Films based in Hollywood, California. Most notably known for the features WHIPLASH, NIGHTCRAWLER, and DRIVE, Bold is a company that understands the importance of writing and values original, impactful stories. In her day-to-day, Ashlyn spends her time training interns to hone their pitching and development skills, participating and taking notes in development meetings, and helping coordinate distribution deals for Bold’s library titles. She knows how to balance creative and commercial appeal in a script—how to reach people and evoke an emotional experience. Ashlyn will teach you how to sell not only your stories, but yourself as a writer.

Before Bold, Ashlyn was born and raised in Austin, Texas, where she eventually graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Radio, Television & Film. She has previous experience as a freelance editor and production assistant, but her ultimate passions are producing and development. Her biggest inspiration is Avatar: The Last Airbender, and she hopes to one day produce animated content that pushes boundaries and expands the medium’s audience. Outside of animation, Ashlyn has a huge love for Television. Genre doesn’t matter; she consumes it all! Mad Men, Attack on Titan, Severance, Arcane, Fleabag, Orange Is the New Black, The Twilight Zone, Game of Thrones, Steven Universe…the list goes on and on. At the end of the day, Ashlyn believes story is the most important aspect of filmmaking. Without that strong foundation, no project will ever reach its full potential.
