Working with Michael was sheer joy!  He puts you at ease and works with your instincts and abilities to bring out the best. 
I am an actress and I like to create different personas and looks.  Michael was able to meld to and indulge my every whim. 
He worked with each personality or character so that their perspectives and attitudes were genuinely portrayed in each shot. 
He is professional, inspiring, dedicated, and just a heck of a lot of fun!
