Video Editing

Minecraft-Style Camping Vlog

This was a project I did for my boy scout troop as their webmaster. I recorded the hike on my iPhone 17, and applied a color grade and effects in post production. This was then presented to the troop, which loved it. I hope to make more of these styles of videos in the future!

Seattle Vlog

This vlog was a bit of an experiment that I did with my iPhone 17, and I wanted to try color grading my footage and really give it a nice creative look. I have plans to make many more of these types of vlogs in the future.

Rabbit Hole

Rabbit hole was a submission that a few friends & I put together for a school-wide One Minute Film Festival. It's purpose was to address addiction, and warn people of the implications of it. After a crowd vote of roughly 50 people, Rabbit Hole won First Place.

Short Films

Downhill

Downhill is a film that I helped create as a school project with some good friends. On Downhill, I did the majority of camera operation, as well as all of the editing. This was my first film I color graded, and I am very satisfied with how the final product came out.

Weighted

Weighted was the first film that I wrote and directed. I wanted to spread the word about academic stress, and I feel like I accomplished that well. I love how the poster came out, and I want to apply the concept of having a meaning of the film on the posters.

Coming Soon...

Frontline

Frontline is a project that I have been wanting to do for years. It discusses opioid/substance abuse in the Snohomish County region through the eyes of a firefighter/EMT. I have big goals for this project, so stay tuned.

About Me

A shot of myself directing Weighted, my first film

Hey, I'm Mike, and thanks for checking out my portfolio.

Ever since I was little, I've been obsessed with bringing stories to life. Way before I even knew what a script was, I was making stop-motion animations with the family iPad and Lego figures, and then posting them to my YouTube channel of 12 subscribers.

As I got older, that hobby grew into a huge passion. When I was 14, a friend introduced me to a local youth filmmaking group. I joined them in a 20-hour film challenge over the summer, and got to be the Director of Photography. Even though I was still learning the ropes, the instructors saw real potential in me, and instead of taking the usual route of going through a beginning class before taking the advanced one, they let me skip right past the intro class. I quickly learned a lot about film, and by the spring semester, I was directing Weighted.

With my knowledge, I earned leadership roles in media teams at my school, and I even started Film Club, where I teach people about films, and then we make our own.

I'm still young, and I still have a LOT to learn in the world of film. But I love sharing and being a part of filmmaking. Thank you for reading my story, and I can't wait to make more.
