​Michael Bourne
Producer, Director of Photography
​
Acting as his guilty pleasure movie, Michael owns 5 copies of Peter Jackson’s King Kong. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Michael now works as a freelance cinematographer and editor. His video work includes award-winning short films, music videos, and feature documentaries. When Michael isn't watching an obscene amount of movies or getting lost on 10-hour-long bike rides, he is probably trying to touch an animal he shouldn't.

​Noodle
Studio Dog, On-set therapist

His name says it all: This goofy doggo is an unconditional lover and a total cheeseball. He enjoys licking feet and biting his squeaky toys so gently that they don’t make a noise. Popsicles are his favorite food, The Grinch is his favorite movie, and he is by far the most important member of the crew.

Rawspace is being produced by our creative team, Moonflower Productions. Michael Bourne and Kyle James have been making films together for the past 10 years. They teamed up with animator/illustrator Mallori Taylor during college. Their latest live-action film, The Death Drive, was on exhibit at the Museum of Wisconsin Art and traveled across the U.S. winning “Best Short Film” at multiple film festivals. Their recently completed animated short film, The Alligator Hunter, is currently traveling to film festivals and you can watch the trailer here.
