Balancing humility, personal mission and hard work, filmmaker Minh Nguyen has found his unique path of self-expression in his art. Minh wants to change the world, softly, smoothly, gently, and unyieldingly. Behind the calm visage and peaceful demeanor is a foundation of granite, a determined warrior, a man with a plan to break down the walls with storytelling, powerful images and his serene spirit. Minh likes truth; it is the most effective mirror for his film’s subjects, and a weapon he wields wisely; as he likes to make his actors feel comfortable. “I’m low key, and my directing approach is to make them feel at ease; when actors come to set, many are anxious, and I prefer to ‘guide’ them so that it feels natural; I lead them to what’s going on…for them to deliver their best.” This naturalistic approach says everything about Nguyen; his personality is like an orchid bud; it opens slowly, blooms, and surprises.

After graduating from the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in Business Management in 2001, Minh moved to Los Angeles, for acting. Minh transitioned into making films as a director in 2004 with the beginning of his work in casting for independent casting director and then working on productions such as the acclaimed hit television show CSI: NY. Although not formally going to film school his work on set with over 20 plus productions under his belt is very much attributed to his solid film production experience. He has studied with a world-renowned screen-writing teacher Pilar Alessandra whom is a script consultant for the major studios such as Dream Works. He began to earn his awards for the music video he produced Jes Hudak's "Another Day" honored best Music Video of the year at the LA music awards 2009. In 2010 the short film "Gumbo" which Minh co-produced won an Audience Choice award at the Hollyshorts Film Festival. Minh also consulted a student film director at the New York Film Academy/NBC Universal program into winning an award for their short film titled "Voice in Silence" in 2011.

A consistent track record, a positive attitude and the inspiring faith he carries his presence completes the producing team. His heart and intentions is to deliver direction to the film that resurrects the emotional pulse of the story that Jennings Michael Burch lived.

In fighting form and ready to rock, producer Mickalean “Mick” McCormick will make your movie better-- and stay on budget. Named for a character in John Ford’s 1952 movie, “The Quiet Man”, which starred John Wayne as a boxer who returns to Ireland to find love, Mick grew up on a steady diet of classic, romantic black and white films, and Irish pride. A grounded, no-nonsense hands-on kind of guy, Mick knows how to inspire loyalty, motivate, negotiate, and keep things moving with an eye for quality and heartfelt storytelling. He’s not the blockbuster boy—he’s your gem-maker. “I want to make layered stories, about real people that make you feel.” It’s in his Irish veins. A first generation shamrock from “The kingdom” of County Kerry, Mick’s DNA runs thick with the blood of tenacious warriors-- for a while he pursued a career in law enforcement. Growing up in New England, and following in the footsteps of his dad, Mick worked in Providence Rhode Island’s police department, executing the grisly task of fingerprinting and photographing victims of violent crime. After two years, it got under his skin. Fighting depression particularly at the sight of children and women robbed of their futures; Mick opted for a more upbeat career. Invited by his brother to participate in a comedy sketch show, Mick found his calling as the cable shows they worked on the “URI TV Comedy Show”, took off. Producing and directing was a piece of cake after his pre-morgue tenure, and Mick embraced it with gusto. “We wrote our own shows produced and directed them, they got picked up for cable,--it was great fun.”

Graduating with a BSA in acting from University of Rhode Island, Mick tasted the first delights of on-camera performing during a local shoot “Real Stories of the Highway Patrol” where his realistic performance drew a crowd and applause. Shortly thereafter, Mick left for Hollywood. “That was in ’96, and when acting gigs slowed down, I started working on sets—gripping, gaffing, stage-managing.”

A brief mentorship by Warren Beatty on the set of “Bullworth” changed Mick’s life. “Warren told me “You can’t ‘just’ be an actor, you have to stay in the game”. “I remembered that and what I saw on that set stayed with me; Warren would not spare any expense—he taught me to hire the best people you can get.” Eventually Mick found his true calling behind the scenes; producing. “From doing all of the different jobs on set, I came to outright producing.” Using his street smarts, Mick went the distance. “I’d get great deals, I knew all the vendors in town, and I’d even do the lights.” You might still find him at the top of a ladder replacing a bulb or adjusting a gel. ”That’s the kind of producer I am; I come to set dressed to work; I blend in with the crew—I like to stay close to the guys so that I know what’s going on.” Mick knows the value of a well-oiled team. “I’m a loyalist—I like to hire the same crew when they do their jobs well, and weed out the ones who don’t“. On set producing and line producing is his primary focus. Great with a budget, you won’t find Mick lounging in the studio production office with his feet up, swilling a Coke Zero. His roll up your sleeves, get the job done, no- prisoners approach has taken him on location productions to Arizona, Texas, Rhode island, Boston, California, Nevada, New Mexico. “You want to find the hidden gems to shoot in”. His film producing credits include “Lyla Wolf:Infractus”, “Assisting Venus”, “Black Gloves”, ‘Stickers” , “Terran” “Fat guy in my head”, “Dead Girl” , “The Frank and Judy Show”, “Love and Revenge”.

Mick is currently multi-tasking as Director/Teacher/Actor/Gaffer/Grip and Set Builder at the Plano children’s theater in Texas.
