Hi, I'm Monica Huntington. I blend fashion design with film making, writing, directing, and producing to tell colorful, character-driven stories. My background includes a degree in fashion design, years of work as a designer for clothing brands, and more than a decade running an upscale boutique. I've written, directed, produced, and starred in multiple films that have screened at festivals and won awards, including a family-friendly mockumentary series called DDT. I've taught children's acting and film-making, and many of my students now appear in my projects. I also work as a freelance headshot photographer and help produce podcasts. I currently write for Ubiquity Entertainment and The Ascendent Studios, and I love mentoring the next generation of creators while delivering entertaining, family-friendly content that appeals to all ages.
