About Me

My name is Michael . I live in Hollywood. I work as a Line-Producer on independent feature films. If you don't know what that is, try not to be impressed. Its mostly paperwork and begging.

I know 11% more than I probably should. People say I'm funny. I pick up the tab. I'm an upbeat philosopher. I have a good time. People are often fooled by my 'nice-guy' looks. Mwahaha!

I'm a bit of a renaissance man. I've written, directed, produced and edited feature films , music videos and shorts. I can build a computer from spare parts. I can pack 40 feet of stuff in a 20 foot space. I use my iPod much less now that I have an iPhone. I've got mad photoshop skills. I know the secret way to the airport. I've worked as an animator. Someone once described me as a wicked mensch. Indeed.

I also am the founder of Crewster.com , a website where people who work in production can meet and find work together.

Michael's 2005 Top Ten Film List

This turned out to be a very strong year for film, no matter how much complaining we all did in the middle of the year. My criteria for picking a film to go on my top ten list is complicated and obvio...
