Jesse Ash is a born & bred New Yorker. He is a director who leads with empathy and heart. Growing up in Queens, the most ethnically diverse place in the world, his public high school's winter recess included doing “culture vultures” - extracurricular experiences that required getting outside of one’s comfort zone - eating new & different cuisine, and visiting an arts institution/exhibition never before seen. Ever since he has become passionately curious about exploring different cultures locally and globally. Always paying attention to the littlest details on location, he knows they can make a big difference when crafting and telling stories. Jesse lives with his family in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
