About Michael



BAFTA Connect member Michael Groom (director, writer and co-producer) and David Groom (co-producer) set up their Creative-England-supported production company Laal Blue Dot after they both worked for many years in the film industry. They cut their teeth working for Michael Winterbottom and Andrew Eaton at Revolution Films, before working freelance - often on films produced by Plan B (Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner).

Michael also assisted world-class directors; he was the long-time assistant of David Michôd, who directed Animal Kingdom, War Machine and The King; as well as enjoying stints assisting Jean-Marc Vallée, Garth Davis and Matt Shakman.

Michael and David have made short films together that have enjoyed festival success at top-tier festivals all over the world. Michael has always juggled writing with his freelance work, selling his first script to Damian Jones when he was just 24 – a film that was made by Vertigo Films and Protagonist Pictures and was nominated for the Golden Tiger at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. In 2019 Michael was a shortlisted finalist in the BBC Writersroom. In 2022 he was long listed for Netflix’s BreakOut scheme. In 2021-23 the brothers partook in the Evolve programme (Creative England / BFI) and in 2022-23 they were part of the Market Trader programme (Creative England / BFI). Between the Lights is their debut feature film (completed July 2023), and was selected to screen in the Breakthrough section of the BFI/Film London’s London Screenings expo.
