Rob Ashkenas

I've worked in the television & film industry since I was a kid, working as grip for my parents own national TV show called Vacation America a ground breaking show for a very young fledgeling "Travel Channel" in the early 80's.

Since then I have produced, directed, written, edited and also performed in many national professional productions like the 2010 Chicago theater production of "A Love Lost Life" the Unauthorized story of Marlon Brando in which Rob served as executive producer and also starred as an 80 year old Brando.
I also wrote, directed the award winning short documentary called "Drive Delray" the real story of 80 to 100 year old drivers in Delray Beach Florida. The film premiered at the NYC Independent Film Festival in 2006 and won best new documentary short.

In 2011 I produced and was also on camera host for a national web series pilot called "Debt Sucks! Life Doesn't!" a hilarious informational web show in late night talk show format. I also authored book of the same name available on Amazon kindle and
