SELECTIONS for Michael Engler

A Deep Dive or a Once Over:

No stress to dive fully in here, I know the drill — this page is designed for a once-over, really, and if something catches your eye, there’s always the option to take a deeper look.

Here are some Jordan Rodericks points of interest:

  • The directing work below is fresh. Everything completed within the last 3 years.

  • I love to be on set. I find that it’s where I’m most comfortable — even in those production moments that aren’t necessarily comfortable, there’s peace.

  • I’ve been working with SpangTV for 13 years, finding solutions for all manner of problems opportunities.

  • EP, AD, DP, Photog, WebDev, Branding, Budgets, Post Producing, and Social — I’m well-versed and well-rounded.

  • The film community is small in actuality, and my network feels largely connected. I like connecting dots and interacting with people who share similar interests and visions. Filmmaking is a privilege and I’m honored.

  • I have a positive disposition, confidence, and am hungry for opportunities to listen and learn.

In closing: I want to explore paths to directing narrative works. I’m eager to challenge myself and grow in a world where the work has a lasting impact and where creativity can be fulfilling.

It’s a new season for me. As a father of a 20 year old, I’m bounding into my empty nest era, all while at the top of my career. I have unparalleled flexibility and experience that sets me apart from my peers and I’m dying to stretch out a bit.

TL;DR: I’m seeking mentor-style guidance on how best work towards new direction in directing. Thanks for taking a scroll, Michael!
