Michael Bayouth

Santa Barbara based artist Michael Bayouth enjoys the arts from his extensive graphic design background including fine arts, storyboard and sketching, to filmmaking and writing. Bayouth worked on the hit TV show The Office during Steve Carell's last season designing all the props and graphics that appeared on the show. His in-depth knowledge of typography and graphic design come from his many years of experience in the entertainment field. Bayouth is also a creative writer and filmmaker. His first novel, with writing partner Kim Klein, Nine Degrees North, has earned him well over a dozen Five-Star reviews. His first solo effort, In The Shadows of Giants is a fun and dysfunctional ride, depicting his life growing up in a Hollywood home with a not-so-tame stuntman for a father. Michael Bayouth's screen-writing, directing and producing was showcased in the mockumentary Take 22. This, award winning comedy feature film for exhibition, won Best Feature Film at the Raleigh Studios Film Fest
