Mike's a Wellington film maker. To supplement his film income....okay, there's no income in short films, so lets rephrase! In order to make films, he does paid work to bring in the dollars. Mike makes corporate videos, design work and
creates show reels for actors.
Mike's philosophy around film making, is to make films on a shoe string that have an organic feel. Mike's scripts deliver a powerful story telling punch and are based around the dark secrets people keep and the notion that what you see and know about people is just a veneer.
His passion for film makes him a perfectionist. So even when all the actors, half the crew and at least two of the caterers are confused, Mike's able to see with a clear vision, enabling him to make innovative films around challenging subjects. Trust him and you won't be sorry. You'll sit, silently watching his films, slowly shaking your head, but not averting your eyes as you whisper, 'ahhhhh, right, right!' when it all becomes clear.
Mike's a private sort of guy, he loves film and making film, he'll chew your ear off about styles, actors, scripts, ideas and genres. However, you won't find pictures of him on this site. He considers his role to be behind the camera, not in front. His work does the talking. He'll talk about his work, if and when required. (On the other hand, don't get all excited, he's not bloody Stanley Kurbrick, he's been seen by people, there's no need to ask if John Malkovich wants to do Colour me Mike.)
In his film life, he's currently editing a short film and working on a feature script.
