Last year, Michael, was on top of his game in the South Carolina Film Community. He had just wrapped his third feature film, several shorts, started a vlog series and had began planning to head off to Los Angeles. Then weird things began happening.

He decided to pursue the issues at hand till I got my diagnosis. At the age of 29, Michael was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Tonight we're releasing Episode 1 titled "How I Discovered I had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia" where he discusses the things that led up to his diagnosis.
