About Ashley
Ashley James Louis is best known for writing THE LAST VICTIM, which was praised by author Stephen King as a “bloodthirsty little thriller” that’s “a combination of Joe Pickett and Cormac McCarthy”. The film was released by Decal (a division of NEON) and stars Ali Larter (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Taylor Sheridan's Landman), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The First Omen) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, The Instigators) and is currently available on HULU.
Recently, Louis was brought on as a story consultant on the MMA drama AMERICAN WARRIOR (2025), starring Danny Trejo.
Louis was also the grand prize winner of the 4th Annual Stage 32 Sci-Fi/Fantasy Contest, as well as winning "Best Sci-Fi Script" at the Hollywood Horrorfest -- both for his science fiction screenplay CATALINA. His pilot BOOTSTRAP NATION was a finalist in the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards. He is also a “Black List Recommended Writer”, ranking in the top 1% of all writers on The Black List website.
