Brothers' Ink Productions
In 2003, Donovan Montierth, Adam Montierth and Jason Walters created Brothers' Ink Productions. They released their first 35mm short film, "Reveille" to audiences in 2004 and have since produced or partnered with other production companies to produce over 10 short films based on Brothers' Ink scripts.

Brothers’ Ink Productions added Nick Stahr, John Waldron, Neil Mather and Adam Devaney as Creative Directors in November 2006. This enabled Brothers’ Ink Productions to increase production and in 2007 they produced 6 short films and went into development on 3 feature films.

The company has participated in over 40 film festivals across the country, won over 20 awards for their films and screenplays, and sold and optioned several screenplays. Many of the films have aired on TV and most recently, Brothers' Ink Productions signed a contract with the Department of Defense for them to play "Reveille" on the American Forces Network and the Pentagon Channel throughout 2007. Brothers’ Ink Productions won a Rocky Mountain Emmy® Award for "Reveille" on October 6th, 2007.

Brothers' Ink Productions is an award-winning production company focused on creating commercial films that are high in quality at conservative budgets.  Brothers' Ink utilizes the business model of creating a short-film as proof of concept for its subsequent features pioneered by industry giants Pixar Studios and Aardman Animations Ltd, but within a live-action setting.
