Michael Ted Ferris was born in Austin Texas to Mike and Maria Ferris.
Growing up he was always known as a writer, always seen with either a
book or a notepad. In 1999, while writing an article for his school's
newspaper, he began formulating the script for what would become his
first feature, "Aaron Habeeb: True American Hero". Spending every
weekend his senior year shooting and editing Aaron Habeeb, he finished
it before graduation and was rewarded by having his movie shown in
local theatres that summer. In Fall of 2000 he began his stint in film
school at the North Carolina School of the Arts, famous for its
graduates David Gordon Green and Tim Orr. Now in the last semester of
school, in 22 years he has made two features, thirty seven shorts, five
commercials, two corporate videos, and one music video. He currently
works in Beverly Hills, California at Smart Entertainment which is
producing the upcoming Will Ferrell movie "Blades of Glory".
