Biography

Joseph Martin Massot, a renowned American-born British film director and writer, left an indelible mark on the industry. His most notable achievement was the 1968 film Wonderwall, which featured George Harrison's debut soundtrack, a groundbreaking collaboration that showcased the iconic musician's talents.

Massot's impressive filmography also includes the 1966 films Space Riders and Reflections On Love, as well as the Led Zeppelin concert film The Song Remains The Same, although he was removed from the project and didn't complete it.

In addition to his directing credits, Massot was also credited as a writer on the 1971 film Universal Soldier, a George Lazenby-starring box office flop.

Inspired by Oasis's hit song 'Wonderwall', a direct reference to his 1968 film, Massot re-edited a new director's cut of Wonderwall in 1999, which included a previously unreleased George Harrison song, 'In the First Place', discovered in a sound archive.

Sadly, Massot passed away on April 4, 2002, following a short illness, at his Flood Street home in London, England.
