Maybe it's because of his agency creative background, maybe it's because of his passion and commitment, maybe it's because of his unique sense of style, but one thing is for certain, when you do a job with Mike Miller, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy.

Mike stands alone among all the filmmakers I have worked with in over 20 years. It would be inadequate to just call him a director. He is an expert on the entire process of filmmaking. Whether on the set or in the editing room, he knows exactly what he wants and can get it done without losing his good humor.
