Michael Jurado(I)
- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
- Additional Crew
Born Michael Joseph Jurado II, he was born and raised in East L.A.
Having a suppressed creative side growing up, and growing up in the
'80s and '90s, TV shows like Transformers, G.I. Joe, Voltron,
Thundercats, Silverhawks, Small Wonder, Drexler's Class, Parker Lewis
Can't Lose, Get A Life, The Simpsons, Melrose Place, and Models Inc.
were a big influence in his creative expression today. 1989's Batman,
Star Wars and James Bond films were his first big exposures to the
medium. It wasn't until recently, that he didn't have an outlet to
express his creative side. Now that he's worked on an award-winning
short, a few student film thesis, completed his own student film, and
learn Photoshop, his next goal is to work to get into the DGA as an AD,
work as a Production Accountant, or work in Post Production. He's
working as hard as he can to catch up with the rest of his peers to not
only work more, but to create more as well. Currently He has plans to
expand on his student thesis in to a short or feature script, have an
anime story concept, start background acting and continue learning
cinematography.
