TESTIMONIALS

“Sometimes Story Editors give notes on a completely different story. With Michael, he takes the time to understand your story at its core and tailors his editing to benefit the overall project.”

~ MARCH MERCANTI, WRITER/DIRECTOR

“Michael's skills as a Story Editor are second to none. His work on my script was exceedingly thorough, bringing to light things I didn't realize were issues while also noting good choices that he felt I could lean into more. Inarguably, he changed my script for the better, and I will be asking him to review any future scripts I write. 

Michael is a pleasure to work with, providing insightful commentary without ever losing track of the writer's original intention, and he would be an asset to literally anybody trying to produce a script. Not to mention he's a really solid writer himself! I offer nothing but the highest recommendation.”

~ ALEX STEPHENSON, WRITER/DIRECTOR

“If you're working on a project and need someone that will listen and work with you to make your project grow, and not make it into something else, Michael is someone you need. He's patient, attentive, insanely creative, and a definitive voice in his own right (his scripts are wild fun with the most evocative vocabulary).

On multiple projects, Michael has sat with me and combed through dozens of revisions, keeping me sane when I didn't want to be. He also gave me the fire to push for the version of story I believed in. No way to quantify what that means... but you feel its importance when you work with him. Truly love this man.”

~ ANDREW HAMILTON, WRITER/DIRECTOR

“Michael Flamank’s insight, attention to detail, flexibility, consistency and professionalism are unmatched against anyone else in the entertainment industry I’ve worked with.

He is painstakingly dedicated and thorough in his craft, capable of weaving stories with diverse and distinctly fleshed-out characters, with dialogue rich in metaphor and social commentary. In addition, any punch-up notes, suggestions and re-works he receives are always met with an eager open-mindedness, making it clear to see that Michael has no issues separating any semblance of personal ego from the needs and authenticity of a project at hand.

I cannot stress this enough: his leadership and devotion to the projects he takes on have been the glue that’s held them together. In my experience, Michael is the engine that keeps things running.

I’d eagerly recommend Michael as a Story Editor, Writer, Producer and anything beyond to anyone looking to craft a unique, strong, humanizing story alongside a thoughtful, motivated, proactive, reliable, professional, friendly, and easy-to-work-with talent.”

~ AVA VAL, WRITER/COMEDIENNE

“Michael is a wonderful creative collaborator who brings fresh ideas and unique insights to every script you bring him. I’ve been writing screenplays for nearly a decade and since I started working with Michael, I’ve seen massive improvement in every conceivable area, from characterization and plotting to dialogue and prose.

In addition to his considerable screenwriting and story editing skills, Michael is also a gifted, unflappable producer with a contagiously positive attitude. He’s utterly reliable and consistent, stays firmly in your corner, and always finds a solution to whatever problems a project may bring. Michael is an invaluable member of any filmmaking team, and continues to impress and delight me after many years of collaboration.”
