Director Biography - Michael Nitkowski

I've known on some level I was meant to make films since I was a child but I began to take action about 8 years ago. I've been creating my own films almost in entirety at this point; writing, producing, directing, editing, scoring,casting, etc.. I also write short stories and poetry. My filmmaking education was "self-taught". My formal education was at Stockton University where I completed a Masters degree in Social Work and a minor in Behavioral Neuroscience.
