A message from Michael

Creative Director  • Presenter • Storyteller

I’m passionate about character — whether it’s brought to life through film, media, or a meaningful conversation. For me, it’s always been about people. The personalities behind the story. The emotion behind the edit. That’s what leaves a lasting impression.

Over the years, I’ve worked across everything from feature filmmaking to live broadcasting and digital content creation. I co-directed my first narrative feature, A Little Resistance, immersing myself in every detail — from script to screen, prop design to performance. It taught me how deeply story lives in the craft, not just the outcome.

At Ticker, I’ve produced and presented globally streamed content, simplifying complex ideas and turning them into engaging, human-first stories. Whether it’s tech, health, culture or gaming, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with fascinating guests and audiences alike.

I’m also the creator of Levelhead Gaming, a platform where I explore the intersection of nostalgia, creativity, and gaming culture — often highlighting indie devs, collector stories, and the real-world impact of games. It’s where my lifelong love of gaming meets storytelling, and it’s always evolving.

I bring a collaborative mindset, a drive to learn, and a sense of humour to every project. Whether I’m editing from my desk, hosting on stage, or directing a set, I’m in it for the story — and hopefully bringing a bit of joy along the way.
