Michael Wells

A native of the Chicagoland suburbs, Michael A. Wells has been a resident of the Atlanta metro area since graduating from Southern Illinois University in 1994 when he earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Radio and Television Broadcasting.

While a student, he worked for the local PBS station as an Associate Producer and Student Producer.

Mr. Wells has had the fortune of being honored with other awards over the years including the International Gold Philo Award, 2 Peabody Awards, multiple Telly Awards and a Christian Acapella Music Award in the category of Best Music Video for his work with media organizations such as Paramount Television Networks, CNN, Legacy Worldwide Media and others.

He currently is focusing on screenwriting in his personal time and is developing several personal scripted television and film projects while teaching Post-Production courses full-time for the Georgia Film Academy, at the Trilith Studios Hub in Fayetteville.
