Mikey has worked professionally in the film and television industry for almost 10 years, starting off as a floor runner, before becoming 3rd, then 2nd Assistant Director.
A small handful of his credits include EastEnders, The End of the F****ing World, The Crown, and Big Boys, among many others.
While working for companies, such as the BBC and Channel 4 with a variety of award winning directors, actors and writers, he has developed his skills in directing background extras and dealing with high profile cast, which has helped develop his storytelling skills in a variety of genres.
The Silver Lining was an ambitious project that evolved massively through the entire process and is only the beginning of a slate of exciting short films planned.
Being able to utilize the amazing VFX really helped in building a believable world and not taking away from the character elements was a fun part of this production. We had a great team of creatives around us who were at the top of their game, who brought realism to this story.
