Athena Ashburn

Athena has produced award-winning feature films associated with studios including MGM, Warner Brothers, HBO, First Independent Pictures, and Roadside Attractions. Such films include epic ensemble piece, "Bobby", released by MGM, which was nominated for "Best Picture" at 2007 Golden Globes. After studying motion picture production at NYU's prestigious TISCH School of the Arts, and being inspired by her late aunt Inger Stevens, who co-starred in movies such as Hang 'Em High (1968) and A Guide for the Married Man (1967), Athena immediately began forging estimable careers for herself in multiple areas of the film industry. For her debut venture as a producer, Athena attracted Academy Award® and Emmy® winning actors to appear in The Elevator (HBO), a film in which she also starred.
