Michael

Greetings and salutations, I am Michael and I hail from the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago. I am doing an amazing masters program in International Film Business and I have been a filmmaker for the last 10 years. I directed my first feature length film titled Green Days by the River in 2017 and I am looking forward to making some films in the UK. I hope to share my experiences, travels, passions and stories with you on this blog.
