Michael
Steinbach, at the age of twelve, discovered his love of storytelling
through the lens of his family's home video camera. His passion for
writing and directing films led him to the prestigious New York
University, Tisch School of the Arts. While attending NYU he wrote and
directed seven comedy shorts
including Mr. Comfortable, Psychology Girl, and Companionship, which was
voted Best Picture out of 180 films and was later screened at the NYU -
Sight & Sound Film Showcase.
Since graduating with a degree in Film and Television Production,
Steinbach has co-written three feature-length screenplays varying in
genre from a psychological thriller to a white trash comedy. In 2006,
Steinbach wrote and directed, Placebo, a suspense thriller short film
starring Jason Ritter as a paranoid schizophrenic. Placebo was well
received, screening at film festivals in cities all over North America.
While Steinbach continues his collaborations with "Very Angry
Neighbors" creating comedy shorts, he has also gained invaluable
filmmaking experience working in production on such films as Poseidon,
Rumor Has It, Lords of Dogtown, Spider-Man 2, Master & Commander,
Spider-Man, and Stuart
