Amy Scott (fittingly trained as a film editor) chose to make Ashby the subject of her directorial debut, and we can only assume her admiration for his work and curiosity about his later career was her inspiration. Ashby was a maverick filmmaker during an era when filmmaking style and tone shifted, and he was at least partially responsible for some of that change. At least 4 of those films would be included on a list of my all-time favorites.
There may never have been a director with a comparable streak of 6 films in terms of quality and variety as Hal Ashby delivered between 19.
