Michael Lee Barlin

One More Moment

2021 First Look Project - Runner-up (Drama)

Michael Lee is the award-winning screenwriter of multiple feature and TV projects, including Black List script FINAL JOURNEY. He also wrote, directed and produced the critically acclaimed 35mm indie film THE PIG FARM, hailed by Amy Taubin of the Village Voice as “very talented, weirdly ingratiating and strangely sophisticated.”

Michael Lee has been writing and making movies since he was eight years old but his biggest career highlight came recently when his idol Steven Spielberg requested to personally read one of his screenplays. Michael Lee did not sleep for a full week.

Michael Lee is married with two children and in his spare time, when not driving someone to a soccer game, scouts, band practice or IKEA, he loves using his children as an excuse to play endless video games without feeling guilty.
