Testimonials
“I first had the opportunity to collaborate with Mr. Ashcroft at Beach House Pictures a decade ago. In 2014, we worked together on Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3, a viral reality show in Asia, where he served as the assistant editor. His talent enabled rapid career progression and was further evident during our collaborations when Mr. Ashcroft worked with me as a Producer in 2016. Over the years that have followed, I have continued to employ and collaborate with Mr. Ashcroft at every opportunity in my productions – in particular on the highly successful MasterChef Singapore Seasons 1,2, and 4. Joe’s ability to identify and convey the true essence of individuals and their stories is a critical asset in today’s global media landscape. His work embodies the highest standards of cultural storytelling, and collaborating with him on numerous productions over the past decade has been instrumental in achieving our creative vision and ensuring the commercial success of our projects.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Joe for many years on a variety of projects and I consider him a to be a singular and rare talent. His creative instincts to dig out impactful and entertaining stories are superlative, and his personal gifts for working with various contributors and talents from all walks of life makes his skill set extraordinary, and unique. Joe will bring an outstanding set of skills to any production that he plays a part in. His flexibly, agility, creativity, groundedness, and ability to maintain strong interpersonal relationships under the greatest pressure are hard to find elsewhere among his peers.”
Conal Whyte – Executive Producer, Warner Bros Discovery
“As Joe’s Executive Producer across a number of international productions, for the likes of The Discovery Channel, I can attest to his diligence and uncommon ability to shape series editorial from the outset. He is technically capable and editorially astute and as such would be an asset on either a new series in production or a long-established brand. Joe has verifiable experience with American content and can quickly replicate format templates in the edit. As such Joe can slot into most post-production roles with ease.”
Rob Sixsmith, Executive Producer/Showrunner
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Joe on MasterChef Singapore, and he’s someone I’d gladly work with again. He brings creativity, thoughtfulness and a strong sense of story to every stage of production.
From generating ideas in development to identifying key story beats in the field and crafting engaging edits, Joe has a knack for finding the moments that resonate with audiences. Just as importantly, he’s a dependable, collaborative colleague whom I’ve really enjoyed working with.
He would be high on my list when assembling a team for an unscripted project.”
