Apart from her own work as a freelance writer, creative producer and development executive (five TV series already aired, several feature and TV series projects in different stages of development or production) Michaela is also working as a story development trainer (Sarajevo Film Festival, Serial Eyes – DFFB, Series Mania – Writers Campus, Midpoint Institute, Karlovy Vary IFF, Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, Tallinn Black Nights, Torino Lab, Eureka Series …etc).
Michaela has a very strong voice in comedy (30 hours of comedy series and one comedy feature in her portfolio), but lately she is exploring also other genres, such as adventurous thriller. She has a rule to work only on projects she feels passionate about.
Michaela develops scripts in English.
