Simone Ashley has moved on to star in This Tempting Madness, a new indie directed by Jennifer E. Montgomery, from her script written with husband Andrew M. Davis, which just wrapped production in Los Angeles.
This Tempting Madness is an elevated psychological thriller about a young woman (Ashley) who awakens from a coma grievously injured, memory fractured, her husband arrested. But as she puts together the pieces of her past, she starts to question her own actions — and her perception of reality.

SIMONE ASHLEY as KATE SHARMA
A true leader knows how to love themselves, put themselves first and set an example for the people surrounding them to do the same. That was something Kate learned and had to surrender to. When we first meet her, she’s incredibly reserved. She’s running away from the trauma she experienced in her childhood, putting Edwina and her mom first and protecting them. She doesn’t want to look inside and confront her own journey, but we see that change when she meets Anthony and is forced to spend time with him. She has to let her guard down. Kate’s a self-realized woman, and she’s not performative. She’s incredibly powerful in that sense. I really love that about her. She isn’t a people pleaser, but her journey is understanding her own heart and needs. It takes bravery to listen to your own heart and put that first — not to please other people but to love herself. There was definitely a journey of a character from being the elder sibling in this protective role with a lot of pressure on her shoulders to being her own guardian and taking care of herself.
