Michael Heagle

Michael Heagle has been making movies since the fifth grade. He harkens from Mukwonago, Wisconsin, and attended the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, from which he holds a BFA in Film. While there, he shot a film with his buddy Mark Borchardt (AMERICAN MOVIE) called TOGA PARTY MASSACRE. Upon graduating, Michael tried his hand at a number of self-funded, independent projects, in which he filled the roles, variously, of screenwriter, director, production designer, editor, and visual effects supervisor.

Michael's film work includes Troma's GO TO HELL, the sci fi western PLANETFALL, and the ambitious student-made feature film TERROR REPORT, co-produced with members of Art Institute International, Minnesota's school of Visual Effects and Motion Graphics where he is a faculty member. HELL and PLANETFALL are both available for rent on Netflix, and this year PLANETFALL joined the growing catalog of titles available from San Francisco's own Heretic Films.

As a performer Michael has been seen in the Minneapolis-based live series ATOMIC SHOCK THEATER and will be flexing new muscles as writer-director and puppeteer of a new TV pilot, Transylvania Television transylvania-tv.com.
