He is the co-founder of the ReelAbilities Film Festival: Los Angeles, entering its 4th year, and was an active member of the WGA's Disabled Writers Committee, which helped produce a PSA he wrote and directed called LOOK AROUND, meant to encourage disability inclusion in the entertainment industry.

He's learned everything about love from Charlie Brown's pining for the Little Red-Haired Girl, everything about courage from Frida Kahlo, and everything else from Samuel Beckett's WAITING FOR GODOT, which confirms Michael's great belief: "If we're all going over the edge - and we are - shouldn't we laugh on the way down?" non-WGA Male, Disabled, Over 40 NO ONE IS LOOKING (Dark Comedy/Thriller) Sam, a physically-challenged high-schooler, who kills a bully and thinks he got away with it because no one would believe a kid in a wheelchair would be capable of that, must find the bully’s missing head before anyone finds out about the murder.
