Filmmaker Generalist of Too Many Things
Michael Maher
Michael always wanted to be part of the film industry, so he started in the most logical place, selling insurance to film productions and studios. (He does not recommend taking that path.)
He's also worked as a cameraman, editor, lighting technician, actor, writer, propmaker, set decorator, and producer.
Now he spends most of his time shooting behind-the-scenes videos, making weird things, YouTube thumbnails, and content marketing like this very website.
What is Am I A Filmmaker?
- or is it "What is Am I A Filmmaker??" Do I use two question marks? Oh great, now it's three... -
This is just Todd and Mike as they are. Two guys trying to navigate this industry, pay their bills, and someday make an actual film shot on film. Until then, we will just keep learning and sharing new things.
