We Tell Stories That Matter
Strata Films is a two-person production company built on the belief that the best stories come from real places, real people, and the patience to let both reveal themselves.
The Team
Who We Are
Marcus Cole
Director / Co-Founder
Started shooting on Hi8 tapes in middle school. Studied documentary filmmaking at NYU, then spent five years making industrial films before realizing he needed to tell his own stories. Obsessed with natural light, long takes, and getting the second take right.
Elena Reyes
Producer / Co-Founder
Came to film through photojournalism. Spent three years covering environmental stories across Latin America before transitioning to production. She handles the logistics, the budgets, and the hard conversations so the creative work can breathe.
