ASHLI AGATE
CEO, PRODUCER
Ashli Agate is a dynamic media producer and storyteller with a passion for creating bold, culturally resonant content. With a strong foundation in studio management and production coordination, she has developed a reputation for seamlessly merging creative vision with production strategy.
Ashli refined her technical expertise through an intensive VFX Compositing program at CEE Toronto and a Film Production & Video Design diploma from George Brown College. Her skills span across VFX, budgeting, scheduling, team leadership, and full-cycle project management—from concept to delivery.
She is the founder of Operation X, a production initiative dedicated to amplifying emerging voices and developing original IP. Most recently, Ashli produced the proof of concept for her original feature, Nuns of Gabriel—a genre-bending supernatural horror-thriller that delves into themes of faith, power, and identity. The project reflects her ability to helm complex productions while maintaining creative integrity and marks a significant step in her evolution as a creative/business producer.
Ashli is also the founder of cllctv space, a grassroots organization supporting underrepresented voices in film through mentorships and hands-on workshops. Her training in Film & TV finance—through CBC and CMPA-backed programs—gives her a strategic advantage, allowing her to navigate both the artistic and commercial sides of the industry with confidence.
