Hey I'm Mike, a director of film and all things motion graphically effektedness (both live action & VFX/motion-design)
I live in Toronto, Canada and do everything from music videos, commercials, to feature film work.

I've been fortunate enough to work on videos (Directing or FX work) for artists like (begin the name dropping) Beenie Man, Kreesha Turner, Our Lady Peace, Delerium, Snow, George, Justin Nozuka, Never Ending White Lights, Gary Beals, Protest the Hero, Famous, Zaki Ibrahim, Bedouin Sound Clash & Kardinal Offishall, and so on. I've worked on commercials for brands like Coca-Cola, Labatt, Toshiba, ABC, Hershey's, Benadryl, Spike TV, Lululemon, Much Music, Cadbury,etc.

I run my own post-production shop (Common Ground Arts) and am a director represented by Next Element. I taught breakdancing for nearly 10 years, front a 3-peice rock band and dabble in audio engineering/production. My art is my life and I haven't woken up at a consistent time for 10 years because of it.

I don't like saying I so much.
