Mike Conway's early life was marked by a strong connection to the southwestern United States, with his childhood spent in the state of Arizona. His academic pursuits led him to the University of Arizona, where he earned his degree.
Following his time in academia, Conway made the decision to relocate to Las Vegas, a city that would ultimately play a significant role in his professional development. In 1980, he began experimenting with filmmaking, using Super 8mm and 16mm cameras to capture his creative vision.
Over the course of the next several decades, Conway's skills as a filmmaker continued to evolve, and by 2005, he had amassed an impressive portfolio that included work on over 100 movies, commercials, and industrials. His passion for storytelling and visual artistry was evident in his first feature film, "The Black Crystal," which premiered in 1989.
The success of "The Black Crystal" led to further opportunities, including the distribution of his second feature, "Terrarium," under the title "War of the Planets," in the United States and Canada through Lions Gate. This marked a significant milestone in Conway's career, as he continued to hone his craft and push the boundaries of his creativity.
In 2005, Conway's third feature, "The Awakening," made its premiere in Las Vegas, further solidifying his reputation as a talented and innovative filmmaker. Throughout his career, Conway has demonstrated a remarkable ability to balance artistic vision with commercial appeal, resulting in a body of work that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
