Biography

Michael Carnick, a screenwriter and playwright from San Diego, California, was the first undergraduate to win the prestigious Samuel Goldwyn Writing Award in 2005, receiving first place unanimously while studying Theatre and Dance at UCSD.

After earning his degree, Michael continued crafting screenplays and stage plays, many of which have been performed live. During his MFA studies in Creative Writing for the Performing Arts at UCR, he was a two-time finalist for the Kennedy Center ACTF Region VIII New Play Festival. In 2012, his play Marlon and Momma was featured at UCR's New Play Festival, the same year he graduated from the program.

Later that year, Michael wrote the short film Rolling Romance, which was independently produced in Los Angeles in 2013 under the direction of David Conley. Created as a passion project by a group of dedicated young filmmakers on a limited budget, Rolling Romance was showcased at numerous local and international film festivals, earning awards such as Best Screenplay at the Malibu Film Festival and Best in Show at Indie Fest.

In 2015, Michael independently produced the feature film Who's Driving Doug, based on his Goldwyn award-winning script. Directed by David Conley and starring RJ Mitte as Doug, the semi-autobiographical film draws from Michael’s personal experiences with Muscular Dystrophy. This drama and dark comedy explores the social challenges faced by those with disabilities, as Doug seeks love and self-understanding. Who's Driving Doug was acquired by Netflix for streaming in 2016 and had its worldwide theatrical premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.

Born with a rare physical disability requiring the use of an electric wheelchair, Michael often focuses his work on themes of disability awareness and the broader human experience of being part of a minority.
