Bart de Champsavin said: “Michael is, above all, an amazing storyteller. His captivating and emotionally charged cinematic style has made him an award-winning director. His work is bold, subtle, and precise, with a touch of comedy when needed. I had a beautiful encounter with Michael. We immediately knew we wanted to work together. Michael is an amazing addition to our roster, and we are thrilled to welcome him into the Wanda family.”

Michael Spiccia adds: "I’m thrilled to be joining Wanda and entering the French market with such an electric team. Wanda consistently produces creative work of the highest caliber, merging the essence of storytelling with compelling visionary artists. This is a company that inspires a sense of uncompromising vision and exceptional craft; whose principles and philosophies I deeply connect with. I’m looking forward to the inspiring journey ahead of us."

Award-winning director Michael Spiccia fuses raw, honest storytelling with intimate character performances, mining for truth and the essence of emotion.

His critically acclaimed short film Yardbird competed for the prestigious Palme d’Or du Court at the 65th Cannes Film Festival. The acclaimed short was recognised throughout various film festivals worldwide as one of the most compelling short films of the year.

Instinctually drawn to the arts from a very young age, Spiccia graduated from art school before becoming one of Australia’s most sought-after music video directors. Segueing into a successful directorial career in television commercials, his visually arresting style has landed him global campaigns, notably for Apple, Honda, Samsung, Xbox, Visa and Facebook. 

 A deep believer in the power of cinema, Spiccia is drawn to the soul of story and connecting audiences through intrinsic truths. He often amplifies the ordinary through a surrealist lens, capturing the essence of human character and merging them into evocative and visual worlds
