Growing up gay in rural Louisiana, Monty Wolfe spent his early life a stranger in a strange land. It was through the cinema that he discovered himself and found a kinship with others. Fast forward to the present and Monty has been a student of film for many years with many provocative, entertaining, and award-winning films under his belt. Like the French New Wave, he seeks truth. Like the New Queer Cinema, he seeks community. Like Hollywood, he seeks accomplishment. Ultimately, he just wants to say something and be understood.
Monty currently thrives in Portland, Oregon with his partner and their dog.
My goal is to entertain people who want LGBTQ stories outside the confines of consumer culture, gym culture, sexless sitcoms, and any mode which tries to define homosexuals through the lens of hegemonic masculinity or consumerist values.
