Michael Brown is the director who proves that vertical screens don't mean compromising on cinematic vision. This mobile-first maestro has cracked the code on making feature-quality content in bite-sized packages, with his vertical film "Lose You to Love Me" racking up over 32 million views on PocketFM alone (plus 1.3 million YouTube views and 500k+ on TikTok, but who's counting?). While other directors are still figuring out how to frame a close-up vertically, Michael's been churning out three full narrative films in a single year, each completed in under nine days with the efficiency of a Formula 1 pit crew. When he's not revolutionizing mobile storytelling, you'll find him producing indie features like "Hayseed" starring Jack Falahee, proving he's equally comfortable whether he's working with Hollywood talent or smartphone screens. His festival-screening shorts and work with ReelShort have established him as the go-to vertical director for brands and platforms that want their content to spark actual conversations, not just views.
