Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Dukakis.
Hi Michael, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
It all started with lots of darkness and mist as most fantasy movies begin. Those experiences taught me to fight from a very young age. And I’ve figured out along the way how to direct my energy toward creativity as well as how to be of help to society. I’ve found the strength to transform all the cruelty I’ve experienced into light, magic, and creative escapism. And hopefully, now that I’m in a good place with myself, I can help through my acting and screenwriting transform and inspire the lives of others.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It was a wild boat trip, full of waves, rain, and wind, but also lots of sunshine from time to time. The majority of the people who find shelter in the arts have not had an easy road, and I’m no exception. I had to overcome my insecurities, my traumas, find my voice, expand and explore life in three different countries, battle the language and cultural barriers but at the end of the day, I lay in bed feeling it was worth it. For the most part, I did everything I could and I was kind and generous to everyone I met.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m involved in many different projects at the moment. Acting-wise, I’ve finished working on a TV series and I’m currently filming a pilot. As for my screenwriting, three of my scripts are ready to go and I also started crowdfunding to film my 10-time award-winning script, To the Moon. It’s a story about child abuse inspired by true events. It’s a project very close to my heart and I feel domestic violence prevention is my personal-mission issue. If anyone would like to help us raise awareness and get to know us better (we will invite all our patrons to an in-person appreciation event soon), they can read the details in the link below and contribute.
What is something surprising that most people who know you or your work/brand might not know about you?
Some of them haven’t had the chance to try my cooking yet and realize that I’m a great cook. They also don’t know that I’ve been trained in martial arts and that I’m a good swimmer.
