Ashton Harrewyn

With 20 years in the industry, Ashton J. Harrewyn has honed his craft as a director and cinematographer across a vast range of projects. A graduate of the Maine Media Workshops, Ashton built his filmmaking foundation alongside some of the industry’s best, pushing his skills to the next level. He then joined IATSE Local 481 and moved to Boston, where he gained hands-on experience in the grip and lighting departments, working on high-profile films like The Social Network and The Fighter, soaking up invaluable experience and exposure on legendary sets.

After three years in Boston, Ashton moved to New York City to pursue his true passion as a cinematographer. Over the next eight years, he worked on everything from TV shows and films to commercials, music videos, beauty spots, and brand campaigns.

In 2020, Ashton returned to Vermont, where he met Morgan, the love of his life. Together, they fused their talents and launched Sharp Cheddar Films, where they blend creativity, technical know-how and an unwavering passion to bring stories to life.
