- Bio
- Ivy educated, worked for a Wall-Street 'Hedge Fund', then quit to pursue an acting career. Took a “real job”, in the brutal mercenary world of non-carnivorous “cannibalism”, that is executive search, more commonly know as “headhunting”. It led to London relocation and start of a European division. Building a business in London, global travel and a partying lifestyle resulted in a near death experience. Drew upon this odyssey, tinged with greed, deceit, venality, indulgence, etc., to craft original dramatic narrative. Michael studied acting, performing in Edinburgh during the festival and on Theater Row. This was followed by dramatic writing studies for film and theater with Robert McKee, Milan Stitt and at the Ensemble Studio Theater. THE MEANING, an autobiographical one act play, the winner of a One-Act-Play Festival in New York. ORBITING FRIEDA, a play in two acts, chosen semi-finalist in the American Theater Co-Op spring competition. ENTERPRISING, a finalist in ‘The Movie Deal’ screenplay contest, chosen as the best dramatic script at the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival and recipient of Honorable mention at the van Gogh awards of the Amsterdam Film Festival.
