This is Learning

Michael Marantz is a director and composer.

Through the challenges Michael has faced in life, he has learned to live with appreciation for every moment and makes films to share that perspective with others. He creates cinematic experiences that seamlessly intertwine story, visuals, and music in a profoundly beautiful way.

His goal: get to the core of human emotions and allow others to see the power of them to inspire positive change in the world. 

Michael was chosen to be a part of SHOOT Magazines 2015 New Directors Showcase.  His ability to work with real people to capture genuine emotions and moments makes him a highly sought after director for Brands.  Michael’s short narrative film, “The Cycle”, is premiering in June 2015 at the highly coveted Palm Springs International Short Fest. 

Michael lives in Brooklyn, NY with the love of his life and wife, Isabelle, where they enjoy grilling and gardening in their backyard.
