can’t stop, won’t stop.
Trained as an editor (Trebas '02) and a film critic (Brock '09), Mike built the largest university television network in Canada as an Executive Producer (BrockTV '07-'11), created a small $10k student filmmaking grant (‘09) and co-founded a film festival (Render This FF, ‘10), all before relocating from Niagara back to Toronto in 2011. He later produced & edited a trilogy of feature-length Canadian music documentaries ('12-'14), then shot a fourth music doc during the pandemic (‘21).
After working in content creation for tech (Tucows, ‘11), weddings (‘12-13), and news (Canadian Press, ‘14-’17), Mike’s own production company, Last Frame Pictures, became a full-time pursuit in 2017. Since then he’s produced and/or shot commercials for Visa, RBC, Kraft Heinz, and Tim Hortons - as well as music videos for Dine Alone, Warner Music, and more. Mike’s narrative works have been showcased in LA, Venice, Austin, Berlin, Toronto, and other cities around the globe.
In addition to filmmaking, Mike also enjoys shooting portrait photography out of his studio in the west-end Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale.
