Partner + Head of Production

Michael Sapienza approaches production as a creative discipline. As Partner and Head of Production at Cardboard Spaceship, he acts as the studio’s creative architect, ensuring the soul of every project survives the journey from slide deck to screen. Michael possesses a curatorial eye for talent; he specializes in deciphering a script’s unique needs and pairing it with the perfect director, cinematographer, or creative voice to elevate the concept. He believes that who tells the story is just as important as how it’s told, and he has spent his career curating teams that click.

At the intersection of art and innovation, Michael is a leader in next-generation storytelling. He brings deep expertise in virtual production and LED volume technology, using these tools to expand the creative boundaries of what is possible on set. From cinematic Super Bowl commercials to complex visual campaigns, he ensures that the creative vision remains the north star throughout the production process.
