Michael Bucuzzo (b. 1990, United States) is an Amsterdam-based filmmaker and sound designer. Using experience borne out of the US commercial film industry, he explores the emotional architecture of popular media. Through a play of sonic textures, illusory set design and archival media, his work constructs atmospheric dream worlds. Michael’s films and performances have been included in festivals and venues such as European Media Art Festival (Germany), Eye Film Museum (Netherlands), Onion City Experimental Film Festival (United States), and International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (Netherlands). He is a graduate of the Master of Film artistic research program at the Netherlands Film Academy.

Michael also works professionally in sound post-production for film and television, with credits including Ondi Timoner’s ‘Mapplethorpe’ and Daniel Goldhaber's ‘Cam’. Additionally, he was an editor on Laurie Anderson's ‘Heart of a Dog’ and Alexandria Bombach’s ‘On Her Shoulders’, which received the 2018 Sundance U.S. Documentary Directing Award.
