Mike Manning

As long as he can remember, Mike Manning’s artistic talent has opened doors for him. At the age of 13, he apprenticed for a graphic design firm, by 15 he’d learned 3D modeling and animation, and by the age of 21 he was working full time at a Hollywood-based creative marketing firm that specialized in graphic and web design. Though his talent and knowledge of the graphic arts span across a wide variety of mediums, his true passion has always been filmmaking. After graduating from California State University Northridge with a BA in Film Production, he produced and directed the short film A Work of Art with fellow colleagues Wes Barker, Dane Naimy and Sebastian Stenhøj. This was the flagship project for BME Films and if its outcome is any indication of things to come, BME Films will soon be a force to reckon with.
