Meet Michael.

A native of Wisconsin, Michael pursued his dream to become a filmmaker in college, focusing on film and dabbling in astro physics. He joined his roommate in Los Angeles to make it in the entertainment industry, working for a number of houses.  Michael then left LA to start his own shop, 811 Productions.

Producing films for commission wasn't what Michael envisioned, but he quickly saw the challenge and payoffs of story telling in a different way - creating compelling videos to inspire customers, internal groups and the general public.

Choosing to focus on a low-overhead operation, Michael is able to tap into his extraordinary creative capabilities and artistic eye, and combine it with his obsession for delighting customers and over-delivering. Michael is able to be in the field and direct shoots while he films, and then take that insight to the editing suite. The result is faster timelines, more emotive story telling, less confusion, and happy clients.
