In 2006, Michael co-edited the critically acclaimed documentary Shut Up & Sing directed by two-time Academy Award winning director Barbara Kopple. Shut Up & Sing chronicles the hit country act The Dixie Chicks in the wake of their anti-George W. Bush statement. After premiering at The Toronto International Film Festival it has since garnered numerous awards and nominations, including being short-listed for an Oscar nomination.
