Biography

Michael sees the movie theater as a place where traditions are subverted-where the status quo gets turned on its head. And this is where his writing sensibilities lie-in taking an established concept or idea and finding a way to turn it into something different. From slasher films where the "sexy" girls are the most competent ones to a rom-com where the meet cute takes place during casting for a snuff film, there's no trope he's unwilling to push to its limit. Michael's written more than a dozen feature films (and produced four of them) as well as written and produced a series of successful shorts. Michael has had several feature scripts both place as finalists and win in festivals and has had multiple short films win awards in recent years, including several that took top honors.
