His uncle is a novelist of Europe-wide fame, his grandmother one of Switzerland's most famous actresses, his grandfather has founded Switzerland's biggest production company, later to be run by his father.

After graduation, Michael played gigs and did records as a drummer and a singer, until a nightmare of himself playing in a hotel band at age seventy, brought him to start working in the film industry.
Starting off in the camera department, he soon turned director. Since then, he has shot for clients such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Renault, Mazda, Switzerland Tourism, Carlsberg Breweries, COI, Swisscom, AXA, Credit Suisse, Swiss Post, and many others.
