About Michael Lees:

Michael Lees (Instagram: @mike_please) is a Dominican film-maker and photographer whose work explores themes of survival, environmentalism, spirituality, and island life, aiming to connect the dots in the “bigger picture.”

Michael attended UNC Chapel Hill, where he spent the first half of his college career studying business at the Kenan-Flagler Business School, later switching his major from business to film.

Never one to shy away from bold decisions, in 2017, Michael embarked on his latest project, UNCIVILIZED, (Instagram: @uncivilizedfilm ; Facebook: @uncivilizedfilm), which would lead him into the forests of Dominica, where he would eventually face Category 5 Hurricane Maria alone in the forest, in a palm leaf hut.

Lees has written, shot, and edited for clients ranging from Billboard to UNICEF. Much of his inspiration is drawn from his home island, Dominica, and from an unquenchable curiosity about the world around him.
