Mike Magee is a Los Angeles Art College of Design educated film producer, director, cameraman, and editor. Following his formal training, Mike worked for several years in Hollywood. In 1991 he
founded Michael Magee Productions GmbH near Zurich. In addition to documentaries and
family portrait films, Mike also produces image films, tv spots and other commercial movies.
“By virtue of our experience in advertising, all our films are produced with the utmost possible quality. Critical to this process is cultivating an empathic response to the subject that makes him or her comfortable during the shoot and able to forget the camera’s presence. It is in this way that an interview comes to possess natural conversational rhythm, nuance and wit.
How a film is edited is of paramount importance, too. Selecting the correct scenes and passages, finding the perfect music requires sensitivity, skill and insight. Our massive international video archive is a great asset in this undertaking.
We will gladly travel the world with you, if that is what’s required.
A family film is an exciting project, a journey for the entire family, and one that strengthens the affection and commitment of each to the other, as well as being fun for everyone!”
