Storytelling on a shoestring is where I shine. With a fun concept, snappy script, and game group of collaborators, commercial creation can happen.

Denver Center for the Performing Arts

No budget. No time. No problem! I spearheaded a new era of commercials for DCPA Theatre Company shows, taking them from an era of vague animatics to fully conceptual commercials using actors during press days. I’d propose concepts to the artistic teams, script the final choice, then direct the shoot, voice over sessions, and final editing. All for under $200 and an hour to capture footage.

All concepts, scripts, and direction: Carolyn Michaels (me!)
Videography and editing: Dave Lenk
Producers: Hope Grandon and Cheyenne Michaels
