Director Biography - Michael Mizov

I've been making shorts and web series for a few years and am continually trying to improve. My ultimate goal, like most anyone, is to break into features or do a series. I write, produce, and direct so I know what it takes to get something made.

Director Statement

For Stuporhero I wanted to create a spoof of the superhero genre without being too meta about it. In this world, being a hero is a regular job, and like any job, there's a lot of crap to deal with. The Manager is one such hero, patrolling his district and minding his business when fate intervenes and a screw up of his manages to go viral online. This of course, leads to a lot of problems for him and a whole lot of changes to deal with. The world of Stuporhero is rich with history and interesting characters and could easily be expanded into more.
