Hello Sticks & Stones team!

My name is Mike Robertson, and I'm an Edmonton-based filmmaker. With over twenty years of experience in the local film and video scene, I'm indeed a jack-of-all-trades, handling directing, editing, shooting, color correction, and motion graphics.

I've worked for a wide array of clients, including CBC, APTN, Blue Ant Media, Telus, the Alberta NDP, University of Alberta, DDP, CJSR, Meal Exchange, Latitude 53, Reynolds Mirth Richards & Farmer, and Relativity Media.

Since 2013, I've worked professionally as a video editor, developing very high proficiency with the Adobe Creative Cloud suite – especially Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop. I'm also quite familiar with Blackmagic Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Avid.

Some of my achievements include nine AMPIA Award nominations (for categories such as Best Film, Best Direction, and Best Writing) and a Western Canadian Music Award nomination for Outstanding Music Video. I've also been honored with a FAVA Fest Award for Best Short Film and an Edmonton Music Award for Best Music Video. Short films I've directed and edited have screened in major cities across North America and Europe.

Having been an improviser and sketch comedian for more than 20 years, I am a team player who is extremely versatile and adaptable. This skillset is invaluable in the filmmaking world, a collaborative medium by nature where one must often navigate compromise and capture moments of serendipity,

I would love to work with the team at Sticks & Stones and hope you'll consider me.
