Storyteller At Heart

Ash Bernal is a Colorado-based filmmaker who specializes in branded content that is human, grounded, and visually compelling. With a background in commercial, documentary, and narrative filmmaking, she brings depth, clarity, and emotional resonance to every project, whether it is a national campaign or a local initiative.

After studying media strategies and application in college, Ash began her filmmaking journey in 2015 when she documented the aftermath of a major earthquake in Nepal. That formative experience sparked a lasting commitment to meaningful stories and continues to shape her creative approach.

Since 2017, she has been a core creative at Hoptocopter Films, where she directs, produces, and edits branded content for clients who value authenticity and purpose. In 2019, she began pursuing independent work, expanding her portfolio and refining a process that blends cinematic visuals with honest, story-driven messaging.

Ash approaches branded storytelling with the belief that people connect most when brands show up with sincerity and intention. She splits her time between her hometown in western Colorado and New Orleans. When she is not on set or in the editing bay, she is likely out exploring with her wife and their dog.
