Michael Lee Barlin
Writer / Director / Producer

Michael Lee Barlin is the writer/director/producer of the award winning, critically acclaimed 35mm indie feature THE PIG FARM, a dark comedy about a hick and a hit-man who team up to bury dead bodies in a pigpen (Best Film, First Glance Film Festival -- Best Film, Valley Fest Film Festival -- Winner, Telluride Indiefest – Director’s Choice Award, Auteur and Dramatic Feature Honorable Nominee, Bare Bones Film Festival – invited to over 16 film festivals).

Having written for such magazines as SCRIPTWRITING SECRETS (article: “Fame, Fortune and the Internet”), he is also the kudos-winning writer of such screenplays as FINAL JOURNEY (named one of the “Top 30 Screenplays in the World” by Telluride IndieFest, and a semifinalist for the Sundance Feature Film Program, the Cynosure Screenwriting Awards and the Annual Fade In Awards), RIGHT WAY, WRONG TURN (semifinalist, Annual Fade In Awards), SNUFF FILM (a comedy), S.C.O.P.E., HUGH MANN’S SPIRIT, STRANGERS IN A CAR, and KRAKEN.

His award-winning short spoofs THE BLAH WITCH PROJECT and ELIAN were seen by over 500,000 people through various websites including this very site, StrangePictures.com.

Critical Kudos for THE PIG FARM:

"A weirdly ingratiating, strangely sophisticated, gross-out gangster flick... Michael Lee Barlin's very talented, no budget first feature is smartly paced, and, for the most part, admirably underplayed."
-Amy Taubin, Village Voice

"This one was an impressive debut by newcomer Michael Barlin... laced with snappy dialogue and some good characters..."
-Edison Carter, Aint It Cool
