Hi, this is a bio, so I want you to know, there's going to be some bragging, but that doesn't mean we still can't be friends. Misha is a filmmaker and an editor working from NYC. Do we have to even mention award-winning? They even made him a Webby Awards Judge. In the past, he has written mock music videos for Samsung, taught Jennifer Lopez how to pronounce "Azerbaijan," and made talking cheese TikToks for Pinterest. And now he works at a creative studio that makes entertainment commercials for startups. The kind of videos people actually choose to watch instead of skipping. All this with startup budgets, entertainment quality, and all the magical AI production enhancements, minus the uncanny valley.
