Thanks for checking me out, I'm flattered.
My name is Michel Monty I am a film, television, and commercial director living in Atlanta and shooting all over the world. In 2025, I directed the newest season of America's Most Wanted for FOX (we even caught a few of them).
I got my start making awarded episodes for shows like Dead Silent and Your Worst Nightmare on HBO MAX. I directed several festival-winning shorts, Drophead and With the Boys. Furthermore, I produced, Bones (2023), Rodrigo (2024), The Marleys (2025), Tomorrow's Monsters (starring John Boyega), and Mantawauk Caves (Clarke Peters and Edi Gathegi) and 140 episodes of a game show, Scrambled Up.
I also make kick-ass commercials. I've done campaigns for Krystal, Xfinity, Elmer's Glue, OMNI Hotels & Resorts, Google, Powerade, Publix, Honey Maid, Novelis, the Paralyzed Veterans of America and many more.
I was an assistant director for Yorgos Lanthimos, David Bruckner, and Ken Fuchs.
Currently, I'm finishing my fourth feature-length screenplay, She's Talking to Grandma (an American New Wave-style drama comedy following the delusional love of a dedicated young woman and her recently deceased grandmother) and a stage play based on the life and crimes of painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
Occasionally, I am invited to lecture on modern cinema production in American universities.
In 2024, I joined the Director's Guild of America.
