Michael is being recognized for the significant body of pro bono work he’s done on behalf of filmmakers.

Congratulations Michael!!

Here’s what our clients have to say about the award:

“Well deserved, of course - we at Film Independent are very proud of you, and are the beneficiaries of all your experience!” Michael Winchester, Film Independent

“Thanks Michael for making our jobs as documentarians possible. Your dedication throughout the years has made documentaries more powerful and compelling due in great part to the fair use of footage and work that often keeps truth from being told. Congratulations!” David de Hilster, Director

“Lisa and the team at Callif Donaldson: A hearty congratulations to Michael! I’m glad to be represented by such a stellar organization.” Michael C. Thomas, Filmmaker

“Congratulations Michael, obviously the industry values talent and effort.” Steve Abram
