★ FEATURE
Biography
Michael Harring is an American independent filmmaker and screenwriter born January 31, 1979. He emerged as a voice in the independent film movement sometimes labeled "Mumblecore," a style defined by naturalistic acting, minimal dialogue, and shoestring budgets. His early shorts Cardinal and Driving Around, Following Strangers established his formal interests; the 2009 feature The Mountain, the River and the Road consolidated his reputation as a deliberate, low-key director. Harring works outside studio systems, financing and distributing his own work, a practice common among independent screenwriters and directors navigating the economics of film. Born under Aquarius, his work reflects the sign's affinity for detachment and observation rather than emotional excess. His life-path number 4 suggests a builder's discipline—each film methodically constructed rather than spontaneous.
