Monty Sansom

2nd / 3nd Assistant Director

Monty Sansom is an Auckland-based Assistant Director moving fast across film, TV, and commercials. Recent credits include Viva La Dirt League and the Xfinity, Taco Bell, and Chemist Warehouse TVCs, with feature work on Minecraft: Obsidian and Shearing the Love — working alongside 1st ADs Katie Hutchinson, Mario de Mendoza, Ian Craig, and Louise Spraggon.

He's a 3rd AD and Additional AD with the kind of broad grounding that shows up on the floor. Earlier roles across cast driving, locations, and production support mean he reads a set quickly, anticipates what other departments need, and moves cast and background without fuss. Whether he's running the floor on a tight TVC turnaround or holding the line on a feature day, the brief is the same: keep the day honest, keep the energy up. Calm voice, sharp eye, gets it done.

Off set, you'll find him deep in a board game with mates.
