About Brothers’ Ink Productions:

In an effort to gain more exposure for their screenplays Donovan and Adam Montierth along with writing partner Jason Walters created Brothers’ Ink Productions in 2003. Their idea was to produce short films as a way to market themselves and their full-length screenplays, and as a way to one day produce their own major motion pictures. This was the same business model used by such groundbreaking companies as Pixar Animation and Aardman Animations.

Brothers’ Ink Productions have since produced or partnered with other production companies to produce over 10 short films based on Brothers’ Ink scripts, participated in over 30 film festivals across the country, won over 15 awards for their films and screenplays, and sold and optioned several screenplays.
