Ash (2019 film)

Ash is a 2019 Canadian drama film directed by Andrew Huculiak and starring Tim Guinee, Chelah Horsdal, Eric Keenleyside, and Cameron Crosby.

[1] Reporting from the frontlines of the Okanagan wildfires, Stan (Tim Guinee) documents uncommon heroism on his blog while hoping for a big break that’ll make him a household name beyond Peachland, British Columbia.

When he's accused of a disturbing crime that damages his marriage and reputation, however, he must scramble to salvage what's left of his life.

[3] 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.

Andrew Huculiak’s latest is both an astonishing technical feat and, thematically, a potentially explosive act of daring.
