Make A Difference Minute: Bringing Stories to Life

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Ashley Chewning with Alabama FilmWorks as she shares how a career in film is about far more than what happens in front of the camera. As production coordinator for Houdini the Magical Dog, Ashley helps keep everything running behind the scenes. From securing filming locations and coordinating logistics to arranging meals for the cast and crew, finding background actors, and building relationships throughout the community, her work connects people and keeps a production moving forward. Ashley began her journey as a background actor in Alabama and Hawaii before expanding into theater, acting, and eventually production. Today, she says one of the most rewarding parts of filmmaking is the relationships that develop along the way. By the end of a project, the cast and crew have become like family. Her story is a reminder that every successful production depends on people whose work often goes unseen, but whose impact is felt in every scene.
