He got his break working on 5 big feature films as an assistant which led to becoming a trainee clapper loader and with that experience he was away.

Mikey found himself in Croyde, North Devon and fell in love with the place and surf community there. He started filming his friends surfing and adventure related brand content.
Savage Waters is Mikey's first feature length film as a director. The film follows sailor and adventurer Matt Knight who was given a book which was a treasurer hunters journal published in 1892 about finding treasure on an island in the middle of the Atlantic. One passage in the book describes an incredible wave. Matt was drawn to the challenge of finding this wave in the middle of the ocean and he started hatching a plan to bring along his family, surfer and friend Andrew Cotton and Mikey to document it. Savage Waters produced by Whipped Sea is now touring the world at film festivals.
