ABOUT ME
I'm Michael Barmish, produced screenwriter, published author, and creative content writer. I have a passion for telling stories in a unique and authentic voice.
After graduating from Temple University’s School of Communications and Theatre with an eye towards the advertising industry, I went into radio and honed my copywriter skills writing radio ads and selling airtime. When the call of screenwriting became too strong, I picked up and moved to L.A. I've written several screenplays, including a family film, Kid Cop, which aired on various cable networks and, most recently, a TV-movie, Love in Whitbrooke, which aired in the US, Canada and Europe.
My love of travel has taken me around the world, which resulted in the book, The Ensuite Life: Traveling the World and Avoiding the Toilet at the End of the Hall, a travelogue filled with humorous anecdotes of solo world travel.
As a member of the Los Angeles Writers Center, I continue to write plays, screenplays, and other creative content--be it online or corporate videos. I am also Program Discipline Lead at Met Film School's Master's Degree program in Screenwriting in Berlin, where I teach the next generation of screenwriting talent. And, I run the Berlin Screenwriters' Network, a networking organization for screenwriters in Berlin.
Born and raised in Philadelphia (okay, born in the city, raised in the 'burbs), I moved from Hollywood to Berlin, Germany (please, ask me why. Nobody ever asks me that question!) to pursue the "European Dream". I love traveling, cooking, architecture, design--anything that screams "artistic." What I love most, however, is to write. I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't writing.
"The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe" -- Gustave Flaubert (french novelist, 1821-1880)
I write. I tell stories. Whether it's your product or service, your website, a movie or a play, if it's words on a page (or screen), I'll turn it into a story. Your story.
