BIOGRAPHY
Ashlyn Ford is an teen actress, singer and musician from northwest Missouri. She began singing at age five and was first bitten by the acting bug at the young age of seven when she was cast in her first theater production. From that experience came a deep passion and interest in acting that has culminated in 29 stage productions to date, including two professional productions and multiple lead roles.
Ashlyn has worked on three feature films and just finished filming her fourth, Wholesome Grove, in October 2023. Wholesome Grove just released March 2024 and premiered at the First City Film Festival. Up next, it will show at the Kansas City Film Fest International on April 13th, 2024.
