Immediately after signing on to direct a weekly syndicated motor sports television series, Michael Sean Wright asked his producer to arrange an on-camera interview with Marvel Universe creator, Stan Lee. "I knew that at the heart of any story, whether it's action, drama, mystery or any other genre, is the development of the character's voice, and the man who taught me about voice was Stan Lee," states Wright. Stretching the audience and, at times, the industry is something that the writer-director is proud of. "Life is a mystery, a journey with unexpected turns and exhilarating 'A-HA!' moments. Robert Altman taught me that the best film is the unedited dailies. Altman felt you lost a lot through the editing down of the raw material. I feel that you are supposed to show the idea of the scene and the feeling of the characters using the fewest words possible. So, to me, editing a well planned scene can actually bring the viewer into a deeper relationship with the work than just relying on Cinéma vérité alone," concludes Wright.

Pace and rhythm are at the heart of all creative compositions for Wright. It seems fitting then that his career started in Chicago as an on-air personality at a 50,000 watt rock station. The format of the station allowed him to discover a wide variety of genres and artists while beginning to find his own pace and rhythm artistically. Wright's true delight came from sharing the discoveries with his audience. From radio, Wright was drafted into the record business as an A & R rep for the leading independent label, Frontline Music Group. While at Frontline, Wright signed acts that ran the gamut from Bluegrass to Hard-Core Rap. "I never felt restricted to one genre, I just signed what felt real to me," continues Wright. Music served to stimulate the creative nature of Wright who, in 1993, began to visually interpret and express himself through graphic arts, photography and film.

Today, Wright is utilizing technologies to create honest dialogue that moves us closer to one another.
