About Me

Hello, my name is Mikey!

I am 22 and way into my second year at Edge Hill Univeristy studying

'Film & Television Production'

You can see some of my work below. My first short film, Imagine, won 'Best Childrens Film' at the Tinnes Film Festival 2007! Im also writing and directing the sureal comedy series, Herman Munch, which you can find at www.HermanMunch.co.uk - go check it out! Watch out for my first big production; I should imagine it will be on the BBC by 2010/2011. haha! Im also touring around to various festivals and screenings with Starting Docs which you can see below too!

The Greatest People in the World.

I have a large family and I am close to them all! I have three sisters and a brother, all older! Without them I wouldn't be who I am today! My mum and dad are amazing. My girlfriend, Steph, is the greatest girl in the world and I would be rubbish without her looking after me. And my friends, they know who they all are! I couldn't ask for a better group of people! And all those who have helped with my films... non of them would have been possible without you! Just hope you guys know I really appreciate it!

Starting Docs: Immigration
