Michael Boctor - Camera Operator

I am a senior at the University of Michigan, studying Biomolecular Sciences. I am currently the lead Director for Filmic Productions, the school’s premier, student-run creative production agency. Additionally, as a narrative writer/director, I have won awards in multiple film competitions, such as the Ypsi24 and Los Angeles CineFest film festivals. I am drawn towards filmmaking by the power it bestows in storytelling. Film has a unique ability to create perspective, chisel minds, and catalyze change. Inspired by Jesus and rooted in my Christian faith, I seek to know and love the good in others, particularly the “other”—those who have been betrayed by the lines drawn at the hand of discrimination.
