Mike Mosallam
Artistic Director
Mike Mosallam is a producer and director for theater, film, and television. He is most commonly known for creating and executive producing the critically praised TLC series, “All-American Muslim”, which ran on the network’s 2011-2012 season. The show garnered a ton of positive press from reputable media outlets and also a substantial amount of controversy when companies pulled their advertisings from the program. On the theater side, Mike has produced and directed more than 100 theatrical productions from large-scale musicals, intimate cabaret settings, plays, concerts, and multi-media theatrical events. He would consider this one amongst his favorites. After eight years in New York and Los Angeles, Mike returned to Michigan in 2009 to head up a new initiative, the Wayne County Film Office. He helped attract more than 70 titles to the metro-Detroit area, including “Transformers 3”, “Red Dawn”, “Real Steal”, and the ABC series “Detroit 1-8-7”. In January of 2012, he moved to Los Angeles and accepted a position as the Director of Sales and Marketing for Sunset Gower Studios, where his clients are such shows as “Scandal” (ABC), “The Newsroom” (HBO), and “Dexter” (Showtime).
