About Ashley:

Ashley Kravitz began her illustrious career in Clearances, in the early 90's as a

Clearance Administrator at Dick Clark Productions working on the many award

and blooper shows Mr. Clark produced.

In 1994, Ashley left Dick Clark Productions for a position as a Clearance

Administrator in the Corporate Legal Dept. of the Walt Disney Co. For 2 years

she cleared materials for various Disney divisions, including theme parks,

internet sites, and records. Although Ashley enjoyed her position she has

always had a longing to work on feature films.

In 1996, a position in Disney's Theatrical Division became available. Ashley

loved her new job handling the clearances on some for the studios biggest hits.

She was soon promoted to Senior Clearance Administrator. During this time

Ashley also earned the title of Mother giving birth to a daughter in '97 and a son

in '99. In 2000, the responsibilities of motherhood made it difficult for her to give

her projects the attention that she felt they deserved, so she amicably resigned

from the Walt Disney Company.

During that same year, some of the producers she had worked with during her

tenure at Disney started to call and ask for her expertise on various projects.

Ashley was happy to help, since she really enjoys the work. Since then, Ashley

has worked as a freelance contractor and as of February 2006, she incorporated

and launched Cleared By Ashley, Inc.

Cleared by Ashley, Inc. has worked on some of the biggest hits over the past decade

including The Rookie, Ozark, Poker Face, Wednesday, 80 for Brady, Five Nights at

Freddy’s, Licorice Pizza, Enola Holmes, Knives Out and many others.
