Hey,
I’m Mike. Thanks for taking a look!
Bouncing around between Boston, LA, & Maine but available anywhere and everywhere, all the time, except for on my wife’s birthday.
Interested in working with people that are looking to create an impact; those that are pushing the needle with ambitious dreams and a good sense of humor. The type of people that look out for one another and advocate for creativity and the betterment of our world.
Non-fiction lights me up. I enjoy exploring the types of stories that give insight into a world and people that I otherwise would have no awareness of. Stories about human pursuits that involve grit & perseverance and how our paths are affected by the dynamics of relationships, chance, determination, opportunity bias, and socio-economics. I feel that by shining a spotlight on the nuances of life (from the subtle quirky trivialities of humor to the awe inspiring phenomena of human nature), and uncovering its layers, we as a society can get closer to finding common ground and a better understanding of both ourselves and the wondrous world we live in.
I’ve been directing, shooting, and editing commercials & documentaries for the last 8 years in Boston and also founded the nomadic production collective, VESSEL, with the intent to connect people through stories that entertain, educate, and inspire. Prior to all of that I graduated from the University of Denver and then got my start working as an electrician & gaffer as an IATSE member in Los Angeles.
*I Produce, Direct, DP, & Edit. Offering services à la carte or bundle package and have an amazing team of collaborators around the world. Available to take on projects from conception to completion. If you’re interested in collaborating let’s chat!
