With our large network of professionals, we take care of everything from insurance policies, permits, visas and equipment to casting, accommodation, catering and postproduction. Ernst Michel also offers connection with partner studios form Hollywood to Bollywood and can work on any budget.
Ernest Michel has done many things in life like extreme skiing, snowboarding and paragliding and was with the mountain specialists for Swiss Military Service. He has rock climbed in the alps as well as climbing commercially at various exhibitions and shows in Europe . He even was a cowboy once, improving his horse-riding skills in North America.
His career in the film industry started as a sleigh driver in a Mars commercial. He was a stunt double for Robert de Niro in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein walking across a glacier surrounded by crevasses. He was chased down a mountain on skis in the movie Timemaster. He skied with Pierce Brosnan in Golden Eye, stood on the mountain with Daniel Craig in The Golden Compass and supported Julia Ormond in Smilla’s Sense of Snow on a floating iceberg in Greenland.
These experiences have made Ernest Michel what he is today: an expert for productions in extreme places with great knowledge and understanding of action scenes. It has built his character and philosophy as a person and service producer. Fearless, curios, with great respect and care for nature and the people he works with.
