In 2018 Mike’s time creating trailers and explainer videos for Posterity Entertainment lead to the opportunity to produce, write and direct Don’t let them in, a horror film which would see release on DVD and streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime. Forming WayOut Pictures with long time collaborater Dan Aldron, the film received a positive critical response from a wide range of publications, including Rue Morgue and would be Geek Legion of Doom’s number 1 movie of 2020.

From here Mike, with the newly formed WayOut Pictures would continue the relationship with Posterity, and begin work on their next project together- Bloodshore. Teaming up with Good Gate Media and Wales Interactive, Mike and his team would be taking on a far greater challenge- and interactive movie. With the help of new WayOut Pictures producer- Daniel Harriman, Bloodshore was shot over a 4 week period in late 2020 during the pandemic. Bloodshore would consist of 8 hours of film, giving players a different experience with each playthrough.
