Complete filmography

Biography

Painter Olivier Megaton was one of the pioneers of the graffiti movement, distinguishing himself by his realist portraits of cultural icons such as Mao, Jimmy Hendrix, Nelson Mandela, and the Mona Lisa. He then decided to do some formal art training and his work began to appear on the wall of art galleries rather than city streets. Jean-Baptiste Mondino encouraged him to take up movies in the nineties. Following Mondino’s advice, Megaton wrote the screenplay of his first short film “No way ou le coeur du Phoenix,” which received funding from the CNC. Completed in 1991, the film went on to win several prizes at film festivals. Ten other shorts were to follow, along with a dozen music clips, mainly for French rap groups, and adverts. At the same time, he made ten programs for the Paris Première television channel and two documentaries for the Georges Pompidou Center. He also created the credits for Laurent Bouhnik’s “Zonzon” in 1998. His first novel “Le Facteur humain” was also published in 1998. “Exit,” made in 1999, is his first feature. He is presently completing his adaptation of Maurice Dantec’s novel “La Sirène rouge.”
