Michael Pizzano is an independent filmmaker and a proud New Yorker. He recently created a 9 episode web series, Lockdown Living, that takes a dark, comedic look into lessons learned from the 2020 quarantine. His short films The Replacement and Say No to Drift Walking, were festival favorites – including the Inwood Film Festival!

Michael’s first feature project, Exposure 36, where he acted as lead producer was released in the Spring of 2022 and he is currently in pre-production for a post-apocalyptic thriller to be shot toward the end of the Summer. In his first foray into directing horror, Michael is incredibly excited to announce Drifter, a slasher film hitting the film festival circuit this year. In addition to his narrative projects, Michael works as a producer of branded content for Vox Media. Check out more of his work at www.michaelpizzano.com
