Ashley Zahorian is an award-winning producer and director passionate about creating media that explores the expanses of the human experience and human dignity. Films and shows on which she was a producer or director have won twenty-three awards.
A long-term plan of Ashley's has been the creation of CMAX.TV - an on-demand streaming network for Christ-friendly entertainment, inspiration, and formation. In 2018 technology caught up and CMAX.TV was ready to be born. CMAX is now a media corporation, with Ashley as President and C.E.O. It continues to grow in subscribers and content including CMAX originals like The Measure You Give, Saints in 60, and The Gospel According to Vinny. With its own ROKU channel and international distribution, CMAX is rapidly expanding. CMAX gives content producers a place to have their content viewed and earn a just wage for their work, organizations to earn tithes through their support, and, most importantly, to spread the good news to the world through media. Through covid shutdowns, CMAX was able to assist local parishes in getting on their feet for live streaming and virtual connection. In 2020 and 2021, CMAX live-streamed international programing leading up to Pentecost. Matt Maher headlined 2020 and the 2021 headliner was John Michael Talbot.
Ashley earned a BA in Music and BS in Media Studies Production Technology from Radford University in Radford, VA and an MFA in Cinema-Television from Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA and has taught as an adjunct professor at Regent University. She enjoys traveling, the great outdoors, always learning, and generally enjoying life with her husband Raymond while they raise and homeschool their four children Clare, Dominic, Joseph, and Catherine.
She is also a production sound mixer and loves set life!
