About

Michael Polk is an independent filmmaker with experience directing, producing, editing, and working on set in various crew positions. After graduating from Ohio State University in 2012, a week later he was directing his feature-length debut, Making Mail, an exploration of the beauty and community surrounding mail-art. Since then, he has been focused on capturing the passion folks put into their craft. For him, that passion is creating an inclusive environment on set to provide a safe and empowering space for collaborators to come together and tell the best story possible.
