MIGUEL MILLER, Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Director Miguel Miller has developed a subtle yet nuanced and imaginative approach to the art of filmmaking. In the Dominican Republic, Miller grew up surrounded by the magical realism of the island. He instantly found an affinity to bringing images to life, evoking thought and emotion through them. He engages in all aspects of creating a film, from stories to characters, to narrative. Miller’s attention to detail and characteristically non- conventional approach to storytelling sets him apart as an accomplished filmmaker. Over the course of the past 11 years, he has worked in over 100 film projects, in different role such as: writer, director, producer, assistant director, director of photography and more.
