About Michael Thordarson
Film Producer and EditorI have always been enchanted by the power of film. Being raised in Colorado, I was surrounded by mountains and vast hills. I loved to explore these hills and dream about the stories that could be told. The way film can tell dramatic and engaging stories right before our eyes is something I still find amazing to this day. Growing up I loved playing with images and sounds: creating home videos and sound effects with what I had laying around. I would use my stuffed animals and puppets as actors and start to come up with my own stories. One of my early films from childhood was about a lobster that wanted to play classical instruments. From there I dove right into the world of film. Working at a movie theater I got to see a lot of free movies and I decided to shoot a film thereafter we would close. Trying to imitate what I had seen on the big screen. As a film producer, I ask myself, what is the best way to tell this story? A story can be told in many ways, my passion is finding the perfect one.
I have studied Film and TV production at De Anza College and the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. From there, I did the editing and production assistant work at Logitech in Newark for a year where I got to edit a wide range of exciting videos. Afterward, I got to work at the Hunter Group, which had me editing videos and helping to manage their social media channels and marketing departments. At the moment I am currently working Freelance, producing and editing videos from a long range of clients with different needs. My first feature film "Sophie and the Serial Killers" is currently available on various streaming platforms such as Tubi and Amazon Prime. |
