Michael Barnes
Professional creative who has worked in the entertainment industry for more than 15 years. Began my humble roots in the Bay Area and graduated from San Francisco State University in 2009 with a specialization in narrative writing for media.
Since moving to Los Angeles, I have immersed myself into every phase of production from pre to post. I’ve worked alongside producers for major studio productions, worked as a quality control operator in post production houses and created, wrote and directed my own comedy shorts and sitcom pilots.
My entire career has always hinged on one aspect: the attention to detail. If it’s not the nuances of character development and the building of a plot within a script, it’s working in post production as a QC operator catching the video and audio errors from some of your favorite TV shows and movies.
My career and comedy writing passions take practice and repetition to perfect, but the best zone to be in, is somewhere in the middle, where I’m simultaneously still adding relevance and learning from the craft. Please enjoy browsing through my portfolio of productions complete with trailers and script samples. Let me know what you think on the “Contact” page or send me an e-mail. I’m also available for any development or writing jobs and provide a proofreading service of anything from personal letters, and scripts to webpage content. Enjoy the process!
