Michael Atkinson
Biography
Michael Atkinson (Born December 30th, 1992) is an American writer, director and actor. Ever since childhood he was obsessed with movies and filmmaking. During the COVID pandemic, he decided to make his first short film, "Nyctophobia", to see if he was capable of making something he could be proud of, with no budget and using only what he had at his disposal. While attending the "Mad Monster Party" Horror Convention later that year, he decided to take filmmaking more serious, and began his production company, Horror Business Productions, taking inspiration from the Misfits song. In addition to filmmaking, Michael is a devoted husband and father, the lead singer and guitarist for the band Grindhouse Dropouts, and guitarist for the acoustic band with his wife, Mom & Dad
