Michael Dowse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Dowse is a Canadian film director. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, he was trained as a film editor. His first full-length movie, FUBAR was shot on a digital camera with a tiny budget, but was picked up by the Sundance Film Festival and screened on the prestigious midnight slot, which had launched the revolutionary film The Blair Witch Project. Though it failed to get picked up by any major American distributors, FUBAR subsequently became a cult hit in Canada.
Following the success of FUBAR, Dowse went on to direct the higher-budget movie "It's All Gone Pete Tong", the story of a deaf DJ in Ibiza.
He currently resides in Montreal with his wife and child.
He has also directed videos for the New Pornographers.
