My film “Line of Reverence,” came into fruition in November 2023 when I was selected for QWOCMAP‘s youth cohort. Through this film training program, I crafted a short film within 4 days free of charge.

This is my debut as a Director, Writer, Editor, Producer, Set Designer, Colorist, and Musician

Original single, “willow talk” by Auracle Ash, written/sung by me, Ashante J. Ford
Produced & engineered by Emilio Davalos-Gaylord
Set to be released June 15th, 2024 at the same time as the film

This song holds a thematic intention that aligns with “Line of Reverence” as it is the opening and closing song of the film and encapsulates the film’s ethos/essence

Other musical offerings:

Although “willow talk,” will be my first song appearing on all streaming platforms, my journey with writing and recording music started in 2018. This season of reemergence is steeped in intention, reverence, and love.
