Available to hire
Hi, I’m Stefan Michalak, an award-winning storyteller, content creator, and producer with over 20 years of experience in branded content, publishing, and documentary. I started The Michalaks YouTube channel, where I craft original, narrative-led family films that have grown a global audience. I love helping brands tell meaningful cinematic stories that spark emotion and engagement.
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with giants like Disney, Land Rover, Microsoft, and Amazon while producing authentic, high-quality videos. My passion lies in authenticity, narrative, and making people feel something profound through storytelling and cinematic visuals.
