Founder | Director | EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Hard work has never been a stranger to Micah Brown, a former two-sport athlete in both football and track at the University of Kansas. After dropping his track scholarship to walk on for football, he became the hero of the 2008 Orange Bowl team by catching a game-saving first down off a fake punt. The catch earned Micah a football scholarship, and helped secure KU their first BCS Championship.
After graduating with a degree in filmmaking, he landed a job editing movie trailers at The Refinery AV in Burbank, California. During that time, he collaborated with some of the top creative minds in the industry on movie campaigns such as Date Night, Knight and Day, and the A-Team. Micah's love for sports called him back to Lawrence where he returned to his Alma mater to produce an all-access web series for Kansas Football called ‘The Gridiron’. The series quickly became a fan favorite amongst Jayhawk Nation and was recognized on a larger scale after winning back-to-back regional Emmy's for “Best Regularly Scheduled Sports Program”.
Years later and now hired frequently for his field producing and cinematography, Micah has become a regular contributor to award winning programs such as ESPN College Gameday, E:60, NFL Countdown, SC Featured, and critically acclaimed series like Draft Academy (ESPN), Last Chance U (Netflix) and All Access (Showtime).
Micah’s storytelling sensibilities, problem solving capabilities and visual eye quickly earned the trust of network executives as he seamlessly slid into the directing chair on numerous episodic series including Draft Diaries (8 episodes - Uninterrupted) and Undiscovered (14 episodes - NFL Network). Undiscovered has played an intricate role in helping the NFL expand internationally and has garnered millions of views online with audiences in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and Brazil.
In 2017 he made his long form documentary debut with Prison Fighters: 5 Rounds to Freedom, which highlights a prison in Thailand that allows inmates to fight for their freedom. The documentary earned him a nomination for documentary of the year at the 2018 Cynopsis awards and was praised as a “borderline masterpiece” by critics for it’s complicated moral premise.
His latest feature length documentary, “Chuck & Tito” is part of ESPN’s illustrious “30 for 30” docu-series. It chronicles the hot and cold relationship between MMA fighters Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz - from the very start of the UFC, through its rise in popularity, to the present day.
Micah currently resides in Lawrence, Kansas with his wife and two sons.
