Aster Roe Productions
Aster Roe Productions is a small, multi-media production company founded and owned by me. At Aster Roe we believe in the power of storytelling as a vehicle for societal change, and a tool for radical empathy. All our projects place those values at the forefront.
Some of Our Projects

"Let the Elephants Dance"
Let The Elephants Dance is an annual Charity Performance Gala in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association and Kids Help Phone founded by Michelle Crossman.
