Michael's earliest linguistic endeavors were marked by an unusual delay, as he reportedly didn't utter his first word until the ripe age of three. However, when he finally broke his silence, it wasn't a solitary utterance, but rather a comprehensive narrative boasting a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Throughout his high school tenure, Michael showcased his burgeoning talent for humor, penning a regular column for the school newspaper and taking to the stage in numerous productions. Following his graduation, he made the bold decision to relocate to New York City, driven by a trifecta of ambitions: to hone his acting skills, indulge in the city's renowned pizza scene, and, in a moment of cinematic fantasy, join the ranks of organized crime.
Regrettably, only one of these aspirations would ultimately come to fruition. It was during his time at drama school that Michael discovered his true calling lay not in acting, but in writing. As a result, he began crafting scripts, only to find that his creative endeavors were met with a resounding silence, prompting him to pivot and take up directing as well.
Fast-forward to 2019, when Michael premiered his debut feature film, The Movie, a dark comedy shot entirely on an iPhone. This unconventional production tells the story of a troubled director who coerces a has-been actress into starring alongside him in his magnum opus, a cinematic abomination that stands poised to claim the dubious distinction of being the worst film of all time. But will this be the actress's final curtain call?
