About Michael
In 1997, at 18 I travelled and worked in San Francisco, California. Living in a hotel I met all kinds of people that opened my world from my Australian upbringing.
In 2001 I applied to the VCA (Victorian college of Arts) and three years on graduated in fine arts majoring in drawing. I liked drawing but I discovered film. I studied the prescribed VCA courses while more and more exploring art works that are derived from film and television and feed into film and television.
In 2004, I worked in Tokyo in a language school. While there and with the cooperation of some young Japanese and Australian friends, I made a 40-minute film on street life in Tokyo. Later on, I turned this film into three short films. I spent six months in China in 2006. The East has challenged me to rethink many of the assumptions of everyday Western life.
In 2010-11, I co-wrote and directed Wasteland, a full-length feature about youth in the western suburbs of Melbourne.
In 2012 I completed a masters in film. I'm currently living and working in China and have a number of scripts finished looking for producers.
