Michael Feehan has spent his entire career working in the creative industries. This started at the University of Alberta where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies and World Sound Arts. During his undergrad, Feehan co-founded a not-for-profit arts organization called The Creative Clubhouse and was appointed to the Premier’s Council on Culture where he advised on cultural policy. Following that, he worked in sales, operations, and management at Freeman Audio Visual while working as an Associate Producer on dramatic feature film Driftwood which screened across Alberta. Feehan is a creative himself having directed his own short film, produced electroacoustic music, composed short film scores, and produced and wrote a computer game. After four years of work experience Feehan moved to Toronto where he completed a Master of Business Administration from Schulich School of Business, a graduate diploma in Arts, Media, and Entertainment Management, and a Certificate in Entertainment Law from Osgoode Professional Development. During this time he gained valuable experience in the entertainment industry including interning on the Cineflix show Secrets of the Morgue. Most recently he has moved back to Edmonton where he works for Dept.9 Studios in Business Affairs, Development, and Production. His overarching mission is to use his creative, strategic, and business acumen to help create vehicles through which artists can tell their stories.
