HEAD OF PRODUCTION
Early in college Mike fell in love with philosophy and it has since become one of his major passions. He is particularly interested in analytic philosophy, including logic, ethics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of science. He is very passionate about how belief in free will affects how we see the world and craft our public policies. Combining his love of philosophy with his love of documentary film making, the Free Will Documentary aims to be the first full length documentary on the subject, exploring all the major perspectives and aspects of the debate.
Jeremy is a filmmaker and science enthusiast from Florida who currently lives in New York City. After graduating from Emerson College in 2017 with a degree in film and video production, his goal has been to enter the world of documentary filmmaking for science and natural history. He has had a lifelong fascination with the human experience of life and the universe we occupy.
