Michela has spearheaded short films, branded content, & broadcast commercials. Her work has millions of views, has screened at 30+ festivals, & has been featured in Variety, Deadline, & IndieWire.

Michela pays the bills as a commercial director. She got her start directing branded content for Funny or Die and Broadway Video, and she’s now rostered at CRY, a Brooklyn-based production company. Her commercial work has won her a Webby Award and nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award, and the Producer’s Guild Innovation Award.

But Michela feeds her soul with narrative work, and she has a passion for projects that have something to say about the American immigrant experience. Her script, Bury The Lede was a Black List Script of the Month, and she's been a finalist writer in Sundance’s Episodic Lab, Disney’s DET Writing Program, and The Orchard Project.

Of all her work, Michela is most proud of Heirloom, a film about her Italian-American family that starred Isabella Rossellini. Heirloom was a recipient of a Russo Brothers’ Italian American Film Forum grant.
