Director Biography - Michael Lappen

Michael is a Los Angeles born filmmaker and senior at USC's School of Cinematic Arts.

Michael also acts as one of the co-founders of AnimalCamp, a Production Company and Filmmaker Collective. AnimalCamp is currently producing commercials, music videos, and narrative shorts with the hopes of beginning in-house development on feature content.
