Michael Gracey
With an exceptional background in VFX and a fluency in music production, Gracey has consistently brought a fresh - often viral - approach to his projects that seizes the audience’s imagination. He credits this specific combination to an early exposure to musical theatre at home and a gap year spent working at Animal Logic. As the youngest animator at the company, Michael has always been on the pulse of emerging technology and their potential influence on the creative industry.
Most notably, Michael Gracey made his feature film debut in 2017 with worldwide success, The Greatest Showman starring, Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya. He followed this great achievement as executive producer on Elton John’s biopic Rocketman. He now returns with his sophomore film, Better Man - a fantastical approach on the life of Robbie Williams.
