He directed and produced the films “D.I.Y. or D.I.E.: How to Survive as an Independent Artist” and “Hubert Selby, Jr: It/ll Be Better Tomorrow.”
Michael also sang, played bass, and recorded with the San Francisco band Bomb.
Hear Michael on:

- Gutter spirituality
- White hat hacking
- How he went from 99-cent film school to $30 film school
- Changing the world through art.
Tune in and listen to the Renaissance guy who, too modestly, describes himself as “a scruffy little man who lives in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake District.”
