“I worked with Michael on the short film, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents: the Birds,” in 2009. He was always very enthusiastic about the project, and his energy and optimism really made it an enjoyable production. He was open to both story ideas and production suggestions from the crew, and always gave everyone a chance to comment on how the film was coming along. Michael has a good grasp of what makes a story enjoyable by the audience, and has many new story ideas up his sleeve.”
