In conjunction with her own production company, 9 doors Productions, Michele ambitiously produced, directed and starred in a two-minute promotional trailer of the script she recently optioned.   On a shoestring budget Michele put together a piece with a production value well over $10,000. The short includes: green screen, an elaborate spaceship interior set, original spaceships designed by DLD Productions, six locations including Ft. MacArthur Museum, set pieces and props designed by a special effects artist from Titanic, visual effects by a Sony CGI artist who worked on Spider-Man and a cast and crew of about fifty people.

Michele is currently in pre-production on another short version of an independent film. Based on a treatment she wrote, she will be starring in both the short and the feature film.
