My name is Michael Ray. I am an African American filmmaker from New York City, currently living in Los Angeles, CA. I have loved filmmaking and TV commercials all my life. I see no difference between the adrenaline of a car racing through the streets of a Chevy commercial and the final car chase in a big Hollywood action movie. Tony Scott and David Fincher are some of my biggest inspirations. I also admire Ridley Scott, Mark Romanek, Joe Kosinski, Joseph Kahn, and several of the other legends of the industry. I want to break the mold as a black director in an industry that needs much more representation. I can do anything from any genre but right now my reel consists of mainly action comedy commercials in the Food & Beverage category. I have directed one feature film in 2013, I directed a documentary about Donald Trump for Amazon Prime in 2017, I love drawing my own storyboards, I write my own movie scripts, and am ready to take the industry by storm.
