Michael Polish
Michael Polish is an American director who works where the film is put together rather than where it is watched. 'Force of Nature' is the one title here with a genuinely wide audience. 'Alarum' sits alongside it on the filmography. The first credits arrived well before the best-known title. Most of this work was done in rooms the audience never sees.
