Hello I'm Michael,
I am a registered psychologist and an independent filmmaker who is passionate about helping you be the hero in your story. My Mission: To love, learn, create and inspire, everyday. I am a freelance filmmaker with experience in writing, directing, editing, and producing films. I am also a registered psychologist. I have years of supervision, training and experience providing individual, family, and group solution-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy to children, adolescents, and adults for mental health and addiction concerns. I, currently, provide individual counselling for adults. I identify as a bi-racial (Black and White), cis-gender, heterosexual male of Polish-Jamaican ancestry, born in Calgary, Alberta. As a recent graduate of UCLA’s Directing Certificate Program, I completed courses in editing, including editing documentary footage, and Vancouver Film School’s Writing for Film & Television Program. I have also written, directed, and edited short films. I am passionate about the intersections between film and psychology. I believe in the power of film to raise awareness, deepen empathy, and inspire change. I want to make films that raise awareness about social issues, deepen empathy for equity deserving people, animals, as well as the environment, and inspire positive change. I look forward to meeting you! Take good care, Michael |
