Datoala Michael Films (DM Films) produces short and feature length films and videos for a variety of markets and distribution channels including theatrical release, broadcast and cable television, and independent distribution. We strive to bring projects to the screen that tell a complex and compelling story that resonates with us.

Each project is unique and requires a fresh approach. We work at all stages of a project, from development to post-production. We can help with refining and reworking a script, securing financing, managing the day-to-day business operations to developing and executing a marketing plan and negotiating distribution agreements. We will build the team that compliments and fills out the skill-set of the filmmaker. Our goal is to free the filmmaker to create the film or video while we manage the required business operations.

Our approach to film and video is simple: Does the story move me? Do we believe it can move other people? Can we get this story to a receptive audience? If the answer is yes to these questions, we can get behind a project 100%. Once we understand and believe in a story, and in the filmmaker behind the story, we eat, sleep, and breathe the story. And we bring that infectious energy to every aspect of the film and video making process.
