Michael Soll

Who: Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. Graduated from UCLA with a degree in International Relations. He was a 2016 AFF Finalist for his screenplay Catalyst, currently in pre-production.

Biggest Lesson Learned: “How to get rejected. It’s difficult for people to understand the degree of rejection writers go through. The only way to succeed is by putting yourself out there, but it means constantly being told you aren’t good enough.”
