About Michael Skanes
Award-winning creative marketing Sr. Producer & Editor working at Warner Bros. Discovery on campaigns for HBO and MAX Originals. I have always loved creating, telling stories, and collaborating with others to help make their work more engaging and exciting. I\'ve produced, edited, and helped direct marketing assets including trailers, featurettes, digital spots, promos, and sizzle reels. I\'m passionate, strategic, and pragmatic with an open-mind and welcoming ear to listen to everyone involved with the campaign in effort to build professional relationships that are based upon mutual respect, trust, and creativity. In my spare time, I continue to pursue my creative ambitions by producing, directing, and editing short films. Currently, I’m working on three new horror projects. Some of my other films include Parasomnia (2023), the multi-festival nominated horror short Mamu (2022), Flat (2018), and A Slight Hiccup (2015). Select work and films can be viewed on my
