He was the main audio engineer on "Inside Job," in which he can be seen on-screen miking people up in the title sequence! During production, he was so thoughtful about every set-up, approaching each one as its own sound universe and never defaulting to any one technique. At the end of production, we needed an interview done in Iceland, and could only afford to send Mike and a DP there. I trusted him so much at this point that I asked him if I could hire him to perform the function of a producer as well as being an audio engineer that day. He said yes and took care of everything. Mike is also extremely likable and has great taste in music. I plan to keep working with him as long as I work in film."Audrey MarrsProducerInside Job
