I'm Montgomery Knott, founder and operator of Monkey Town, a multi-city cinema, dining, and performance project with venues in NYC, Denver, Barcelona, Austin, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. Since 2003 I have curated and built a platform that books film, video art, music, and dance from local, national, and international artists, while handling hiring, payroll, and administrative duties for a team of up to 15. I also manage social media, promotions, and website creation, including trailers, to showcase our projects and events (Art Basel Miami, HBO, Vogue Korea, and more). As Sobremesa director/producer/designer/editor/sound/camera, I oversee every aspect of production and post-production—from scouting locations and sound design to color correction and promotion. I also work as an independent fixer/producer in Mexico City and beyond, recruiting talent, translating, sourcing gear, and coordinating shoots for international projects. Previously, I served as Senior Editor at America Online, where I managed content and a team across multiple cities.
