Michael King
I recently had the privilege of reviewing my next guest’s latest docu-film The Rescuers due to premiere in New York on 09 May 2014. Already an Emmy award winning Director with a growing list of nominations and awards, his most recent film had me spellbound and wanting to know more about his previous works, career and what makes him tick…
Any ideas who I may be talking about…?
This exciting interview is all about Emmy Award winning Michael King who has agreed to run the gauntlet of Simons 10Q Interviews…
Before making The Rescuers, Michael King has spent over two decades in the film industry and is currently developing a feature film Awake in the Dark about a soldier’s long journey home with post traumatic stress, written by Academy Award nominated writer Richard Friedenberg
(A River Runs Through It)
. Also he’s directing a feature length documentary about TBI/PTS in association with the Department of Defence, National Intrepid Centre of Excellence, and Warrior Canine Connection titled Intrepid for release later in 2014.
In 1999, King’s PBS documentary on youth violence in America, Bangin’, won the Emmy and International Television and Video Association Award for Best Documentary and Best Editing. In 2007, he completed a feature documentary entitled Rapping with Shakespeare, which examines how a popular English teacher used hip-hop and rap to help his students to better access Shakespeare’s
works. He went on to be nominated for an A&E Indie Filmmaker Award in 2008 for Rapping with Shakespeare. He also was the executive producer for the American Film Institute film, Crenshaw Nights (2008) starring Vondie Curtis-Hall
and Judd Nelson
.
