Answers from Michael
Other than your current job, what other job in the entertainment industry do you dream of doing?
Nothing really. I love producing and it's something that has evolved into my very core. I originally went to college to learn to write and direct, but after two unsold scripts and much door knocking and I just started in production and within a couple of years, had moved to UPM. After that, it was a natural progression to Line Producer and then Producer....
