A survivor. In the aftermath of chaos, she noticed a cloud above the place where the Twin Towers once stood. It lingered for weeks, luminous and heavy. It made her wonder. Maybe it wasn’t a cloud at all, but the collective souls of those who lost their lives that day, looking down on us. The image - an indelible memory - inspired the story, The Road To Beyond.
Micki has been telling fantastical stories her entire life, whether crafting fiction, producing films or telling a brand story.
A powerful story will make you feel and wonder. It opens a portal to a heighten reality, a day dream away. A good story, no matter what form it takes, is an experience that connects with your heart. And, becomes part of you.
As a Madison Avenue Creative Director, Micki created award-winning campaigns for Coca Cola, P&G, and many more - all through the power of story. Winner of Cannes Lion, Clio, Addy, Effie and Telly Awards, she is currently Creative Director of Branding Shorts [brandingshorts.com], a content-creation agency she co-founded with her husband, Tony Parente, in 2008.
Micki is an artist, writer, filmmaker and mom. She loves magical realism and compelling stories that take us on a journey beyond reality as we know it.
