Director Biography - Harley Wallen

Harley moved from Sweden to the US in the 90's to pursue Acting after being bitten by the Acting bug on a cult TV show in Sweden he had to make the move. After a hit and miss first year he put his effort into climbing corporate ladders. After a successful run in high level management he found himself in a heartbreaking divorce. He knew he needed to refocus his life and have a creative outlet for his passion again. He got back into primarily indie acting again but when the Michigan Film Incentives came to a halt he decided to learn everything he could about filmmaking in order to insure there still being viable and relevant film to come out of Michigan and he hasn't looked back since.
