Ian Montgomery cut The Village Barbershop. He cut it at his kitchen table. He cut it at work. And he cut it in a small closet that an unscrupulous real estate agent might refer to as a home office. He also cut it on Saturday and he cut it on Sunday; he cut it at Barbary Post and he cut it in hotel rooms at night while Chris was in L.A. shooting some commercials.


He is also Australian. Which is worth mentioning only because, like most Australians, Ian seems to always have a proper perspective on life, which is quite good for brooding directors who tend to worry too much about stupid shit.


Technically speaking, Ian has a Masters Degree in Film from the Australian Film School, one of the world’s most highly regarded film schools. He has edited over 20 short films, with screenings at festivals in Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Palm Springs, New York, Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco.


He currently pays the bills and keeps a roof over his family’s head by cutting commercially for clients such as EA Games, Sega, Comcast, Nationwide, Adobe, and specs for Nike and Coke.


He lives in San Francisco with his wife Steph and their two dogs.
