Holly Montag has gone from Heidi's sister on "The Hills" to jewelry designer to... our new favorite film buff! It wasn't until Holly stopped by the MTV News offices earlier this week that we learned of her background. The elder Montag sister is a film school grad -- from a program made famous by avant-garde legend Stan Brakhage no less! -- who has a taste for Hitchcockian mystery and Jimmy Stewart.
"Hey, I went to film school," she revealed about her past to MTV's Jim Cantiello. "[My focuses were] critical studies and production. I double majored... well BFA and BA. I went to CU." (That's the University of Colorado, where the Montags are from.)
Holly also revealed that she experimented in college-- with her film work, of course! "It's like all experimental," she explained. "We had to do it all on like 8mm, everything we did [was] 16 and 8 and 16. We'd splice it like with the tape."
Holly, who eventually wants to put her skills to good use as a director, did share her love of Hitchcock as well. She even studied him -- we mean his work -- during her college days. "I did my own independent study in college, just him alone," she said, adding just what her favorite flicks of his are. "I think I'd have to go with 'Rear Window' or 'Rope.'" Responding to Jim's own favorite, the classic "North By Northwest," Montag said that she loves it too, "but I love Jimmy Stewart." Take that, Cary Grant!
