A Chicago Native, Michael Thelin, has been making movies and commercials since he was 8 years old. After years of of intense studying the art of filmmaking, his true passion for storytelling erupted.

His debut project was for a non-profit organization close to his heart, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The three-minute segment is used to promote awareness of this devastating disease. This inventive piece is currently being shown nationwide to educate people on cystic fibrosis and its effects on children.

Soon, thereafter, Michael embarked on numerous projects ranging from music videos to commercials. In addition to freelancing, he utilizes his past experience and provides financial consultation to production companies.

Michael has excelled in all aspects of directing. His energy and passion are contagious and his instinct to lead is apparent on the set. "Michael made me feel important on and off the shoot. His ability to make suggestions while still allowing me to make my own decisions empowered me. I look forward to working with him in the future," Megyn Rodgers, Aveda Institute.

His recent ventures on both coasts has landed him more experience in music videos and short narrative . "Michael is an emerging director...who has just taken a big step into the music mainstream," Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun Times. His intelligence and drive are unsurpassed and he is determined to succeed.
