Work Bio:

Michael grew up in Ohio and after surviving through the many tumultuous winters by living in an igloo, he was considering a permanent move to Alaska where he could not only gaze at the amazing Northern Lights, but he could learn better survival skills from the native Eskimo’s. At the last minute, he realized he would be able to accomplish more by moving to Florida and giving up the cold weather for a more tropical climate. It’s a good thing for us he chose Florida as Orlando is where he made the huge jump into Full Sail University where he studied Film Production and Online Editing. He did so well at the University they bestowed upon him the title of professor, making him the youngest teacher at the school in its hallowed history. (At the time)

It didn’t take long for Michael to find a position in the business he loved; he became Vice President of Production for Academy Entertainment based on the backlot of the famous MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. With Academy he jumped into producing a number of various music videos and feature films. It was at this time Michael merged a unique blend of creative with experience in project management, editing, producing, directing and writing. His involvement with television, new media and game design allowed for an uncommon look at all aspects of the entertainment industry.

For the last seven years Michael has delivered his wealth of knowledge to Bruno White Entertainment (BWE) and her heavy hitting clients as the Creative Director. He has brought a young, current, edgy feel to the content he has developed for brands such as Disney, Microsoft, Kellogg’s, The United States Department of Defense and other Fortune 500 companies, honed from impressive experiences delivering visual content for musical artists such as Eminem, Dr. Dre, Outcast, Buff Daddy and Interscope Records.

Through his earlier experiences in the industry, Michael has been able to recognize what information he needs to seek from clients in order to uncover specific key insights that catapult their ideas to the next level. His objective has always been to understand each client’s desires independently; to engage each project with a comprehensive discussion regarding budget, project details and deadlines; then he collaborates with the development team to construct a unique story, strategy and branded message which fits every client’s individualized vision. For example, some of Michael's most recent projects have included; directing educational content featuring Levar Burton which was shot completely on green screen and then composited into an animated 3D world; he wrote and directed an interactive video game for the U.S. DoD and a viral campaign for Kellogg’s boasting an incredible 72 million unique visitors to date.

His vision is simple; to stimulate and entertain by influencing imaginations to come alive!
