Experience

Mike began writing about film online in 2014 for the sadly defunct site RopeOfSilicon while he was attending The University of Texas in Austin. Since then, his writing can be seen on SlashGear's sister site Slashfilm, Collider, GotchaMovies.com, and his own site ReelProjection.com. His writing has run the gamut across these sites, including film news, reviews, and film festival coverage from Sundance, South by Southwest, and Fantastic Fest. Aside from writing, he also co-hosted the film podcast No Excuses with Austin Chronicle contributor Jenny Nulf. Along with film, Mike has a deep love and great knowledge of musicals and theme parks.

Education

Mike has a bachelor's degree in radio-television-film from The University of Texas, frequently considered one of the best film schools in the country.
