Micah Khan will be introducing and moderating the Q&A with 518 Film Network directors in attendance. He is a writer/director who has directed and produced over 30 short films. His passion for equity and bringing impactful stories to life is unmatched. Micah brings this same energy to set where everyone is made to feel loved and supported.
Micah recently wrapped his feature debut, The Zombie Wedding, which is the first film launching the Weekly World News IP-Driven studio slate. The 19-person ensemble cast includes Cheri Oteri (SNL), Seth Gilliam (The Walking Dead, The Wire), Heather Matarazzo (Scream, The Princess Diaries), Kevin Chamberlin (10 million on Tiktok, Tony Nominated), Christine Spang (Succession), Siobhan Fallon Hogan (Men in Black, Wayward Pines), Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos), Ajay Naidu (Office Space), Mu-Shaka Benson (Wu-Tang, Blacklist), Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, Deepti Menon (Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Donald Chang (Squid Game), Katie Kuang (Wounded Fawn), Krystina Alabado (Means Girls on Broadway) and Jay DeYonker (American Horror Story).
His latest short film, Meetcute on Danceworld, was featured on MovieMaker Magazine, tweeted by Ben Stiller to his 5.4 million followers, and David Benioff of HBO’s Game of Thrones said of it “Never seen anything quite like it before. I was smiling the whole way through. It’s fresh, original and it kicks ass.” Before that, his action short film, Safe House, was the winner of Robert Rodriguez's People's Network Showcase Contest and premiered on El Rey Network.
His screenplays have been placed in Austin Film Festival, Screencraft, a finalist at 1497’s South Asian Writers Lab, and was recently selected as a mentee for Mentorship Matters BIPOC Writers Initiative sponsored by Amazon and AMC Networks. Micah is currently collaborating with MovieMaker Magazine on a series of interviews on the craft of filmmaking where he's interviewed Oscar-nominated filmmakers like Denis Villeneuve, Spike Lee, Joe Wright, Zach Braff, and many more.
