Michael Foster began his career at 19 years old working at a local movie theater in Calabasas, California. Slated to go into corporate management, he took a different direction when joking around with a fellow projectionist about comedy in the workplace.
Since the early days of threading films for moviegoers, Michael has shot, edited, produced, and directed countless documentaries, short films, tributes, promos, webisodes (featured on Funny or Die & Travel Channel), and multiple narrative features in the independent film space. His work has been seen at numerous film festivals including Seattle, Newport Beach, San Diego, Burbank, Pennsylvania's Oil City, and Mockfest, winning Best Comedy and Best Mockumentary for Runyon: Just Above Sunset, a Funny or Die six-episode web series. Soon after he began editing the documentary feature film Trace Amounts about mercury and autism - taking 4 years to complete and comprising 300 hours of raw and archival footage. Premiering at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the film received enormous celebrity praise by Jim Carrey, Robert De Niro, and Bill Maher advocating for clean vaccine policy for children. As a director's re-cut in 2022, Michael's documentary short Artists of the Roundtable about the most meaningful people within television, film, and music was showcased at the annual Oil Valley Film Festival.
The film editor and filmmaker are always searching for fresh opportunities to wow viewers. Material that educates, evokes, & reminds. Collaborating with like-minded professionals, testing the weight of his experience, and telling stories that rattle the making of process.
