Documentary, Digital Stories, Branded Content
No matter the subject, my approach remains consistent - find the universal story within. Inspiration, inner strength, joy, passion and love - these are the driving forces behind every great story. Whether you are a business looking to connect to your audience, an artist wanting to tell the story behind a song, or an NGO trying to get out an important message, a good story is crucial to connecting to your audience. With a background in documentary storytelling and experience working with international brands, such as UNICEF, IsraAid, and the Food & Agricultural Organization, I can help you tell your story, in an effective, emotionally resonant manner. Contact me if interested in working together.

In today’s media landscape, traditional push ads are no longer as effective as they once were. These days people are choosing what content to consume, which is a good thing. That means it’s up to you (and me) to create content your audience actually wants to see.
“Michael did a fantastic and thorough job for our short documentary that touched thousands of people.
Michael is easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable about his industry, and has a diverse array
of past completed projects, I highly recommend using Michael for just about any project that needs to be covered.”

My portfolio ranges from working with world-class artists like Nero and Icona Pop during my time at Billboard, to telling personal stories of courage & survival for UNICEF and Astaphans post-hurricane Maria. Below is a sample of my work. In addition to branded content, I also have experience shooting performance videos, events, and music videos.
