Biography

Born in Frankston Victoria, Michael's passion for film came from watching old black and white and technicolor films from his father's collection. Beginning his career working voluntary at a local Television Museum and at Channel 31, Michael always knew he was going to work in the film and television industry. Starting out as a Production Runner on Rove Live, he now works with all the free to air television networks on major sporting events and reality shows as a camera operator. He's helped on low budget feature films in Melbourne and Sydney. His ambition to tell his own stories led him to write, produce and direct is first short film, 'Solitude', which screened in up sixty film festivals globally, and was placed in the National Film & Sound Archive of Australia for permanent preservation. 'My Gift' is Michael's second short film venture into writing, producing and directing. He hopes 'My Gift' will generate the same positive response as 'Solitude' did.
