Mike Egan has a deep affinity for oddball characters who find themselves in unusual circumstances. He likes capturing these characters with simple, yet dynamic images that let them shine through in all their glory and lodge themselves into the audience’s heart, brain, and sometimes spleen. 

He developed his directorial sensibilities during the nine years he spent in the creative department at Wieden + Kennedy, Portland. In his advertising life, Mike helped put Ron Burgundy into a Dodge Durango, lent his voice to the iconic KFC Colonel Sanders campaign, and concepted the award-winning music video for Portugal. The Man’s hit song Feel It Still, which has racked up over 375 million views. 

His short film Bronzed premiered in the Midnight Program at SXSW, was named a Vimeo Staff pick, and played on screens large and small all over the country — including at six Academy Award Qualifying festivals.

Mike relishes the mental adventure of casting just the right people and then working with them to get grounded yet surprising performances. He loves it when a plan comes together and also when it falls apart in a wonderful way that creates funny little surprises he never could have anticipated.
