Michael Graef
I make films. Behind that simple statement is my drive to ask questions until I find what really matters in a story.
Since 2014, I've directed videos for musicians, non-profits, and businesses across the world that’ve been viewed over a hundred million times.
What I've learned is that the best work comes from collaboration; something interesting happens when different perspectives collide. My job is to find what's unique in that space and develop it.
I follow four principles in my work: do great work, build trust, keep it simple, and above all, be curious.
At 1:1 Studios, the company I co-founded in Missoula, I work with a team of extremely talented people. This website is where I showcase my personal work as a photographer and writer.
The work I'm most proud of invites you to feel something and, hopefully, leaves you with a new perspective.
