Mike O’Day
Director’s Reel (2025)
New York–born filmmaker and creative producer drawn to stories about people in motion. My work lives somewhere between documentary and cinema, shaped by travel, curiosity, and human connection.
Now (updated January 12, 2026)
I’m currently in Mexico City, getting the engine rolling on Suelo — a cultural, human-focused film studio centered on intimate, story-driven work. I’m developing a slate of projects that range from cinematic, social-first pieces to short films and a feature.
I’m deep in the edit on Still, We Move, a short film shot over six days from Seville to Marrakech last October. It follows a traveler moving through unfamiliar places, quietly wrestling with change, memory, and momentum.
On the feature, I’m polishing the first draft of a script and laying the early foundations to produce and direct it. It’s a New York City story, rooted in becoming, belonging, and what it means to arrive somewhere without fully knowing who you are yet.
