MIKE SCHMUECK
Director, Studio Programs
Exceptional Minds
Michael Schmueck brings a rare combination to his work at Exceptional Minds: real, hands-on experience in high profile film and television production, and a genuine commitment to building career pathways for autistic adults in the entertainment industry.
What sets Schmueck apart in his field is not just his production background but how he applies it to the unique environment of Exceptional Minds. He translates the standards of a working studio, real deadlines, real client expectations, real crew dynamics, into an environment built for autistic adults who are training for and entering the industry. Since his arrival, the VFX team has had its largest ever project by shot volume, and the largest single season project by revenue, Outer Banks Season 5.
