Fearon DeWeese

Fearon has always had a passion for telling stories through Film and Television. She had her own local TV show with her sister at the age of 12. After College, she got into event production and has produced over 1200 events. She launched her own event production company, Fearon May Events, in 2010. From there, she went on to work at the Napa Valley Film Festival for eight years as a Festival Director and part of the Executive Team. In 2020 she left the film festival and spent time with her family as she focused on her next steps. During covid and shutdowns, Fearon spent time writing with her friend Juliana Folk. Together they wrote "UnCredited," a pilot episode for a series Fearon is developing loosely based on her life. Through working at the festival, she met a lot of connections within the film industry, and she took the leap into filmmaking. Fearon and Juliana Folk launched Ashella Productions in 2021 to produce their first Pilot Episode. UnCredited has gone on to wine Best Episodic at the Lady Filmmaker Festival in Beverly Hills and the Palm Springs Shorts Fest. Fearon & Juliana both strive to break down the stigma that you can't have a successful career and be a mom, certainly not in show biz. But you can have daycare's on set, a baby strapped to your chest, and still follow your dreams. It's possible! It was essential to create a production company that supported women in film, directors, and storytellers. Ashella Productions aims to produce stories that drive conversation, are entertaining, and connect to the soul. Fearon has experience managing talent, handling hospitality needs, location management, producing, and directing. She manages budgets, creates full production schedules, and can direct a large team. She wears many hats during production and thrives on set.
