Got Questions for Mike Seely, Our New Deep Look Producer? (Patreon)

We’d like to announce that we have a new producer, Mike Seely, that’s just joined our team! He’s worked independently for more than 12 years as a director, producer and cinematographer on documentary films that have explored art, science and society. 

After majoring in biology, Mike worked as a wildlife biologist for several years studying bird and seal populations in California. Then he headed back to school, earned a master's degree in documentary filmmaking from Stanford University, then served as an associate producer at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics and Film. 

Since then, Mike’s trekked all around the globe on various projects: studying the Polish documentary film tradition as Fulbright grant recipient; traveling with indigenous midwives in Guatemala; filming lemurs in Madagascar, investigating the social and environmental effects of gem mining there; hiking through the jungles of Paraguay documenting an innovative business school for girls; and embedding with surgeons in Ecuador on a mobile hospital boat for rural communities in the Amazon. 

Please welcome Mike––he’s currently producing his first story for Deep Look about kangaroo rats–and ask him any questions you have about his career or interests. We’ll follow up with the answers in another post!
