About Mike

I’m a film director with over 20 years of experience and five years teaching at a top film school. My films have been seen by millions, and I’ve worked with industry pros across every stage of production. I’ve worn nearly every hat — from development and directing all the way to post-production — and I bring that full-spectrum experience into every session. My coaching is practical, honest, and built for those serious about filmmaking.

About the lesson

I’m a seasoned film director with 20+ years of experience and 5 years of teaching at a professional film school. In this lesson, we’ll cover hands-on directing techniques — from working with actors and shot design to building story and tone. This is a practical, collaborative session tailored to your project or goals.

Mike was an incredible teacher and mentor to me. He always had my full attention, and I learned so much. Mike was my teacher just as I was feeling comfortable and helped me achieve the best possible short film I could make. After graduation, Mike then trusted me enough to be the 1st AD on his upcoming second feature film "Whispers of the North". Learning from him in a real world setting was incredible. He's truly a visionary!! It was an experience that I will never forget. Mike's influence on my career and life will never be overlooked. I will never be able to thank him enough.

Mike has given me great direction and guidance when it came to film making but I really found value in his script work. It helps to have a director with a good track record to guide you on making a script, specifically with dialogue to make the characters feel natural and authentic.
