Interesting facts

Ash is a 2019 Canadian drama film directed by Andrew Huculiak and starring Tim Guinee, Chelah Horsdal, Eric Keenleyside, and Cameron Crosby. It is the second film directed by Huculiak and the second feature-length film produced by the Vancouver-based production company Amazing Factory Productions. The film premiered at the 2019 Vancouver International Film Festival and is currently making a festival run internationally.

Production

Amazing Factory Productions kept a day-by-day production journal on the film's official website "www.imnotabadperson.com." I'm Not A Bad Person being the title of the screenplay before the name of the film was changed during production. "Day 1" was considered to be September 14, 2014, while the team's first film, Violent was still being shopped around at film festivals.

It wasn't until June 2016, while the film was still in pre-production, that the team determined that the story they were crafting would be set amongst a violent wildfire in the Canadian wilderness, and so prior to any casting, and without a finished script, Joseph Schweers and Josh Huculiak drove into a wildfire to gather shots for the film.

The film was finished in December 2017, and made its world premiere at the 2019 Vancouver International Film Festival. It is currently making an international film festival run.
