The Producers

Nathan Airhart                          Producer

Josh Dollison                              Producer
​

Nathan Airhart was raised in a small, Ohio town that didn’t have much time for young men who didn’t care for sports. In middle school and high school, while other boys his age tried out for the football team and watched the Cleveland Indians square off against the New York Yankees, Airhart wrote stories and watched television, eventually realizing that the combination of these two obsessions birthed the career path he wanted to pursue.

After graduating from Jackson High School, Airhart attended Ohio University in the town of Athens, Ohio, for a degree in screenwriting & producing, where he met Josh Dollison, also a screenwriting & producing major. 

Airhart is now a Producer's Assistant, having worked on projects such as Tom Swift, Legacies, The Vampire Diaries, Stan Against Evil,  Being Mary Jane, and The Last Full Measure.

Recently, Airhart and Dollison have wrapped their fourth film project, a romantic comedy entitled Side Effects.

Josh Dollison grew up in Marietta, Ohio with a passion for storytelling. His love of film and television led him to get a degree in Screenwriting and Producing from Ohio University, where he spent most of his time creating independent student productions.

For over ten years, Dollison has worked with students and professionals to realize two web series, Cured and Something Real, four films, Afterthought, Aaron & Kadeem, Side Effects, and Dragon City, and one independent pilot, Deathwatch. While he loves his role as cinematographer, Dollison has also been involved with producing and editing each of Stray Mote's projects, and has worn many hats throughout his career.

Professionally, Dollison has worked as a production assistant on Ms. Marvel Season 1, Miracle Workers Season 1, The Gifted Season 2, Jungle Cruise, The Color Purple, Jerry & Marge Go Large, My Best Friend's Exorcism and ​Lovecraft Country  Season 1.
