Director Biography - Glen Michael

My main intention of creating Trapped is to create awareness that the action genre can be executed no matter how young you are, as long as you put the right mind to it. The vision that I was going for is an enclosed building concept where danger lurks in every corner for the main character of the film. Keeping the audience on their toes as to whether he can survive the ordeal. My aim was for a thriller concept rather than a full-on action approach in order to keep the audience guessing as to who the antagonist’s true identity is.

As this film is my graduating project, I want showcase to the audience the genre I adore growing up and encouraging more young and aspiring filmmakers to pursue the genre if they are keen because any genre can be accomplished with the right heart and the right mind.
