He has always loved narrative filmmaking and has longed to write and direct his own films in his early high school years. Since his time spent with the Purchase Film Conservatory, Michael has found a strong connection to telling stories that deal with interpersonal relationships and the flaws and conflicts that human beings face on a daily basis. He loves telling genuine, human stories that show how people interact with each other, especially in the wake of inner turmoil. Mostly focusing on crafting short dramas, Michael tries to bring his own personal stories to his work to lend a voice for those who face the same issues.
