VMX Crew Spotlight: Production Manager/Co-Producer Mike Gonzales

We literally met Mike Gonzales for the first time when he showed up on the set of BUTTERSCOTCH to be a PA (Production Assistant). We shook hands, and within moments Director Jon Keeyes was calling out "Action." And to see Mike Gonzlaes in action was enough for us to ask him to be our production manager/co-proudcer on Virgin Mary Christmas!

Mike Gonzales started in the film industry in 2007 working as assistant to Mr. Zeihl on the feature Exit Speed starring Desmond Harrington (Dexter, Wrong Turn), Lea Thompson (Back to the Future franschise), and Fred Ward (Road Trip, The Right Stuff, Armored). From then on he has worked as a PA on multiple Indie films in Texas and has been climbing his way up the AD (Assistant Director) ladder. One day Mike hopes to direct and produce more Indie films in Texas.

Here's a look at Mike's resume:

- The upcoming EX-TERMINATORS starring Heather Graham (The Hangover, Boogie Nights), Amber Heard (Pineapple Express, Zombieland, Never Back Down), Joey Lauren Adams (Mall Rats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), Farah White (Jon Keeyes’ Suburban Nightmare, Miss Congeniality, Bandslam)
