Annaleigh Ashford Joins Short Film AFTER WORDS as Executive Producer

Tony Award-winning performer Annaleigh Ashford has teamed up with Tony Award-winning producer Nick Mills (Sterophonic) as an executive producer on After Words, a new short film from director Isaiah Bryant.

“So often, young actors find themselves constantly fighting to manifest their dreams but without a clear goal in sight," said Ashford in a statement. "This project became a way not only to support the art form that I love, but to tell a story that feels deeply personal—one that explores the challenges of maintaining a relationship when everything hinges on artistry and creative pursuit."

According to the synopsis, the film follows the relationship between a driven actress and a disillusioned writer, whose "rising ambition and jealousy test their bond and the sacrifices love demands." The screenplay was written by MP Hayes.
