Michael Selditch, the offspring of an electrical engineer and a homemaker, hailing from the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, would embark upon a most distinguished and multifaceted career trajectory. Following the attainment of a Master's degree in Architecture from the esteemed University of Pennsylvania, Selditch would subsequently secure his licensure to practice architecture within the boundaries of New York State.
Selditch's professional journey was marked by a strong foundation in his chosen field, as he worked alongside prominent architectural firms and embarked on various freelance projects, meticulously refining his skills and cultivating a reputation as a highly accomplished architect.
For an impressive 14-year period, Selditch dedicated himself to the pursuit of his craft, simultaneously sharing his expertise with the next generation of architects by teaching at renowned institutions such as Woodbury University in Los Angeles and Pratt Institute in New York, where he imparted his knowledge to students and contributed to the growth and development of the architectural community.
As the years went by, Selditch's initial enthusiasm for the architecture profession began to wane, giving rise to a sense of discontent that gradually intensified. This growing dissatisfaction served as a catalyst for him to venture into uncharted creative territories, and it was during the early 1990s that he started to dabble in set design for both theater and independent film.
His fascination with storytelling and the art of visual storytelling ultimately proved to be the driving force behind his decision to pivot and explore new avenues in the entertainment industry. With his sights set on the world of television and film, Selditch embarked on a new journey, this time as a writer, producer, and director.
In the year 2002, Selditch embarked upon a groundbreaking endeavor, taking the reins as both director and producer for his inaugural feature-length narrative film, Fixing Frank, a cinematic adaptation of the stage play penned by the illustrious Ken Hanes. This momentous occasion marked the inception of a new and pivotal chapter in his career, one that would consistently demonstrate his remarkable versatility and artistic range, further solidifying his reputation as a master of his craft.
