Filmmaker J. Michael Seyfert
has been a constant commuter between journalism and the creative arts.

"Bye Bye Havana" his award-winning feature documentary is an official selection at the
20th Fort Lauderdale Intl. Film Festival and the Queens International Film Festival

As a multi-linguist in a multi-cultural world, Seyfert displays an uncanny sensitivity
by spotlighting rather serious subjects without relying on old standards of filmmaking,
delivering thought-provoking entertainment to international audiences.
