About me
A Producer/Production Manager/1st AD ready to take your production, big or small, and make it a reality.I have worked on productions in Afghanistan while getting shot at by Taliban and also blown up by special effects and stunt departments right in my backyard. Getting the shot, behind or in front of the camera, is my specialty.
LA based, but anywhere you need me.

In 2000, Michael formed the company Mystic Entertainment, producing and directing music videos, short films, and commercials.
In 2010, he spent 6 weeks as a producer and DP for a documentary shot in Afghanistan shooting war footage while embedded with the US Army in the eastern part of the country.
