Michael exploded onto the UK Grime music video scene with videos for Big Narstie, Clement Marfo and Naughty Boy ft. Jo Jonas. He continued to collaborate with Big Narstie as a series one director and producer on the BAFTA winning 'The Big Narstie Show'. He has created brnaded content for Virgin EMI, Bauer Media and The History Channel. 

Parallel to this, for a decade, Michael has been developing 'Ariella', a unique drama/thriller about the 'loverboy' method of human trafficking: researching, interviewing, writing and producing the script, raising finance, buying kit and finessing his skills in cinematography, production design, editing and music in order to produce 'Ariella' completely independently.
