Michael is an independent filmmaker and a proud New Yorker. He recently created a 9 episode web series, Lockdown Living, that takes a dark, comedic look into lessons learned from the 2020 quarantine. His short films The Replacement and Say No to Drift Walking, were festival favorites. Michael’s first feature project, Exposure 36, where he acted as lead producer, was released in Spring, 2022, and he is in pre-production for a post apocalyptic thriller to be shot toward the end of the Summer. In his first foray into directing horror, Michael is incredibly excited to announce Drifter, a slasher film, hitting the film festival circuit this year. In addition to narrative projects, Michael works as a producer of branded content for Vox Media.
