Our Story

Ashes is a full length feature film written by A.A.Wintringham, set in beautiful Vancouver, B.C. Featuring intimate moments of past and present, this modern love story follows the life and death of two relationships in the same fashion as "Requiem for a Dream", "Blue Valentine" and "21 Grams".

 

Dane is a writer who moves to the West Coast to find himself. Alina is an aspiring actress, trying to pick up the pieces of her life after experiencing great pain and loss in her past.  Michael is living the "high life" but is tortured by mistakes and decisions he's made and unable to forget. 

 

Michael and Dane become fast friends as Michael brings Dane into his dark underworld.  Dane and Alina meet at a breakfast diner and quickly fall hard for each other.  They submerse themselves into a whirlwind of passion, sex, and future dreams, but secrets from the past soon surface and their fairytale life threatens to fall apart.

 

Ashes is a story of love and hate, lies and truth, the struggle of one's past ghosts and future dreams. This dark emotional journey is inspired by "Magnolia" and beautiful love stories such as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Punch Drunk Love", and "True Romance".

Our Project (as of right now)

Ashes is a complex story that requires a lot of time and detail to properly make the feature length film so we decided to shoot a series of trailers in order to showcase what a breathtaking and unique project this is.  Since September 2011 we have held auditions, cast our three leading actors, and gathered an amazing crew of professional and passionate individuals. We shot over a total of 20 days using all of our spare time and approximately $5000 of our own money.

This could not have happened without the overwhelming support of our community right here in Vancouver, BC, including local cafes (Tartine Bread & Pies), restaurants ( Helen's Grill, Eight 1/2 Restaurant Lounge) bars (The Railway Club) and talented individuals who donated their time and energy to our story.

What We Need & What You Get

Post production began in January 2012 and we now have 2 trailers cut together. There is still a lot of work to be done however. We are now wanting to put a proposal together and find another production company to help us get ashes the film made. The money we raise will help to recover costs already spent and provide funding to help us move forward.

 

We are creative individuals with passion behind us. We believe anything and everything is possible. With your help, we can continue our dream of making this project a reality. You will become a part of our family and will be invited to share in the journey with us.

 

The "perks" we have set in place are about extending gratitude and connecting passionate people. We would love to tell the world that you support us. Please check out our super fun "perks" on the right hand side!
