Michael Foster Films

Hello friends! I'm very proud and excited to launch this new website promoting my filmmaking work and available services. This is something I've been working on for several months with my brilliant designer Jimmy Lee Wirt. If you or someone you know needs video work or old footage converted, this is my specialty. You can communicate with me here or live on the website. Hope to talk with you soon...

My sister and I at the premiere of Trace Amounts.

20 years old, writing my first screenplay, "Projecting Words of Chaos", which was inspired by my experiences working at a movie theater.

I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway when I got a call from @ericgladen telling me about his documentary project and that he was looking for a film editor. This is my earliest memory of an experience that changed how I think and create. Editing hundreds of versions over 4 years (with a run time as long as 4 hours until the final cut of 90 minutes) this film taught me so much about the detail and nuance of storytelling and gave me the gift of being a part of an important conversation. #TraceAmounts

When you lose someone close, sometimes all we have are the memories left behind. I put together a tribute that would play at my father's memorial service; digitized all his Sony beta home video tapes, restored photos, and presented his life the best way I could describe it. The 11 minute film is available to watch at michaelfosterfilms.com
