Producer / Michael Leavy...
To put it simply, Michael Leavy was born a
filmmaker. Ever since he learned what a movie was he has dreamed of making
them. Fortunately, it didn't take long for that dream to become a reality.
Michael started extremely early, making full-length films with friends and
family; and as time passed, ideas got better, stories improved and production
value followed. Michael taught himself how to edit and has been perfecting his
craft ever since. From the early days of using a toilet paper roll to scroll
credits, all the way through mastering Final Cut Pro, that passion has never
left him. In 2010 Michael Leavy, along with his brother Jason Leavy, Steven
Della Salla, and Kyle Mullins established their production company, Fuzz on the
Lens Productions. The company made it's debut in the film industry in 2012, and
since then they havent looked back!
