With expertise in production, studio management, sound and sales, Bartell further strengthens growing office

Leading post-production house Optimus Santa Monica today announced the addition of Ashley Bartell as producer.  Working closely with Executive Producer Therese Hunsberger, Bartell will help make the office stronger than ever for editors, assistants and clients alike.
 
“We have known Ashley and admired her work for a long time,” said Hunsberger. “She is a great fit for our tight-knit group and brings a breadth and depth of experience that is critical during this exciting time of growth for our office.”
 
Bartell has 10 years of assistant production, studio management, sound and sales experience. Most recently, she was director of operations at Ravenswork Studios – a commercial mixing and recording house in Venice, Calif.  Bartell has worked for clients including Kia Motors America (KMA) for David&Goliath; Nestlé Nesquik® and Northrop Grumman for McCann Erickson; Toyota for Saatchi & Saatchi; and Toys“R”Us for You&Me.
 
“Ashley is so well respected in the industry,” said Optimus President Tom Duff. “She has the real world experience required to tackle the all-encompassing demands of a producer. To a person, we’re thrilled to have her join our team.”
 
“Optimus has such an incredible reputation in the industry, and I am honored to be a part of the group here,” said Bartell.  “I’ve known Therese and the Optimus Santa Monica folks for a long time.  I am so excited to bring my skills to the editorial boutique and branch out into all aspects of post-production.”
