Monica Stratton is a talented writer and producer working in the fast-growing film industry in Portland, Oregon. She has co-owned an independent production company with her brother, Dustin Stratton, since 2008, after Dustin was honorably discharged from the Army Airborne. Their company mission statement sums up their ethic pretty well: "We put our credits where we want. We hire who we want. We work with people who can do more than one job. We film what and where we want. We reward those who walk beside us and stoically walk past those who do not. We keep the budget low because are truly independent and pride ourselves in our discipline, professionalism, and talent. We neither apologize nor put a disclaimer on our product. We deserve no less consideration and respect than anybody else. We are not the enemy..."
