Award Winning Writer/Director Michael Schroeder known as a visually gifted filmmaker who's always searching for poetic expansiveness and emotional value in every scene; to take the audience somewhere unexpected.
With MAN IN THE CHAIR, Schroeder blended genres in a distinct vision of 'style and content' by confronting one of the hidden controversies of our day - ageism and neglect. Christopher Plummer referred to his character Flash, as the role of a lifetime. The drama/comedy was a Festival darling winning Best Picture at Santa Barbara, Stony Brook, Kent and Heartland Film Festivals. The picture garnered other Festival honors and notice at Berlin (Crystal Bear - Best Picture Nomination), Seattle, Palm Beach, AFI-Dallas, MethodFest and many others.
Rex Reed, New York Observer: 'MAN IN THE CHAIR, a modest but intelligent feel-good movie with a spectacular performance by Christopher Plummer and some wise and deeply affecting writing and direction from Michael Schroeder. At a time when most films wallow in mankind's basest instincts, MAN IN THE CHAIR is a rare, once in a blue moon kind of movie that celebrates the best qualities in people and makes you applaud the human race.'
