Jonathan Montepare

Jonathan Montepare, born December 9, 1980, in Williamstown, Massachusetts—yeah, not exactly Hollywood, but hey, talent pops up in weird places. This guy’s been behind some seriously interesting films as both a producer and a production manager. You look at his credits and it’s not just fluff; we’re talking about movies like “May December” from 2023, which, honestly, got people talking for all sorts of reasons. He’s also got “Bones and All” (2022) under his belt—that one’s got a vibe, something between coming-of-age and, well, a full-on road trip with a twist that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s hard to look away. And then there’s “The Miseducation of Cameron Post” (2018), which tackled some pretty heavy stuff and did it without sugarcoating anything. What’s wild is, Montepare isn’t the type to slap his name on just anything. The projects he picks? They’re not scared to poke at uncomfortable topics or mess with genre conventions. He’s got this knack for being involved in films that feel raw, kind of offbeat, sometimes even a little bit subversive—definitely not your run-of-the-mill popcorn flicks. The guy clearly digs stories that push boundaries and get people talking, even if it means ruffling a few feathers along the way. He’s not out there for the cheap seats or the easy wins; he’s picking stuff with meat on the bones, so to speak. If you’re trying to track the careers of behind-the-scenes folks with guts, this is a name to keep an eye on.
