Monty Montgomery

American film director, screenwriter and producer. In the period 1978 to 1980, he made his debut as a "fringe" producer, and collaborated with the independent director Marcus Reichert, casting rock stars such as Mick Jagger, for the role of Antonin Artaud in Wings of Ash: Pilot for a Dramatization of the Life of Antonin Artaud, and Deborah Harry (Blondie), for a femme fatale role in Union City. In 1981, alongside Kathryn Bigelow, he co-wrote, co-directed and produced the independent film The Loveless, a dark story of a 1950's motorcycle gang, with Willem Dafoe starring in his first major film role. In 1986, with his partners Steve Golin and Joni Sighvattson, he became one of the founding forces of Propaganda Films, among the most successful and well-known independent production companies, responsible for thousands of music videos for all the major pop icons, commercials and movies such as Madonna documentary Truth or Dare, Being John Malkovich and the pilot for Beverly Hills 90210.
