About me

Michael Medoway is known for telling authentic stories that weave brand culture into honest narratives. His work blends elements of vérité realism with cinematic polish.

After college, Michael moved to Japan where he lived for six years working as an English teacher. Moving back to the U.S., he began producing commercials for the Japanese market, where he continues directing today.

For his work on the Lexus branded film, ”The Art of The Dunk” Michael was selected for a 2019 YDA and included in SHOOT’s 2019 New Directors Showcase.

His short doc “El Gallo” on world-champion boxer Juan Estrada, was an official selection at DOC NYC 2018, winning ‘Best Short Documentary’ at the Rome Independent Cinema Festival and was picked up by DAZN.

Michael’s work has been featured in Shots, Little Black Book, BooooooomTV and Director’s Notes.

Michael loves, in no particular order: basketball, coffee, Haruki Murakami novels, red wine and good company.
