Michael Wohl is best known for his role as one of the original designers of Apple’s legendary film editing tool Final Cut Pro. That software was a fundamental part of a technological revolution that democratized filmmaking and enabled millions of people to raise their voices and tell their stories. He is also an award-winning filmmaker himself, with nearly two decades of experience across genres, styles, and formats. He has won awards and acknowledgments at many film festivals and competitions including the prestigious CINE Golden Eagle award. He’s been the co-founder of several production companies including Talkingstick Pictures, where he and his team spent four years documenting Ethiopia’s Agricultural Transformation Agency; an ambitious and inspirational effort to overhaul agricultural practices for that country’s millions of rural smallholder farmers. This project was facilitated by The Synergos Institute and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Other clients include Apple, Adobe, and Pearson Education. He has also maintained a parallel career as an author, professor, and educator. He is the author of over a dozen books on the art and craft of filmmaking, which have sold tens of thousands of copies and have been translated into six languages. He served for eight years as an adjunct professor at UCLA’s Graduate School of Film and TV. He has been invited to speak at myriad film festivals and conferences including Sundance, SXSW, NAB, IBC, and many others, and his hundreds of hours of online training courses are among the highest rated at AskVideo.com. Michael is also the principal baker at Burlesque Buns, a delivery-only bakery focused on traditional Jewish breads, pastries, and treats. He is also the founder of Bread Heals, a culinary curation club which seeks to break the boundaries that divide us through the shared joy of breaking bread.
