Michael Summers

Oneida Nation of the Thames | Turtle Clan

Indigenous Film Maker located in Southern Ontario, Canada. Since 1999, Michael has been taking steps towards his dream of becoming part of that magic of telling stories through film and video. After graduating college with an advanced degree in Broadcasting – Radio, Television & Film, Michael began creating videos for local businesses along with events like weddings and concerts.

In 2017, Michael began creating a series of documentaries for Ontario Arts Council, Canada Arts Council, Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres, Bell Media (FibeTV 1) and Aboriginal People’s Television Network. Each documentary has covered an area of Indigenous culture and history that have meant a great deal to Michael. Although there is lots of experience behind Michael, he is always learning and continues to look forward to telling stories that are impactful and cinematic.
