What Does ashella mean?
Juli and Fearon became inseparable friends after meeting at an Oscar party in LA. Two years later when Fearon came over to tell Juli that she was pregnant, to Fearon's shock, Juli said, "I am too." Juli's son Asher, and Fearon's daughter, Ellamay, were born three weeks apart. So when deciding to take the leap together and launch a production company, they gave their kids one of those catchy Hollywood couple names. Ash for Asher and Ella for Ellamay, and you get Ashella! Everything we do is for them, and we love working with other crew members and teams who understand the importance of work-life-balance. #momswhomakefilms
