Michael Shaw's television credits include the first two seasons of the critically acclaimed AMC series "LODGE 49," the first two seasons of the hit series "BILLIONS" for Showtime, the first three seasons of “ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK” for Netflix, and the first three seasons of “THE BIG C” staring Laura Linney for Showtime, as well as over 75 commercials and music videos.
His impressive feature film design credits include the award-winning “Boys Don’t Cry,” for which Hilary Swank won her first Oscar; “You Can Count on Me,” starring Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo; “A Home at the End of the World,” based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham’s book starring Colin Farrell and Robin Wright; “August Rush,” with Robin Williams and Freddy Highmore; and "Copout,” staring Bruce Willis.
Michael settled in New York City after studying painting, sculpture, and film at the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA cum laude). While constructing scenery by day to support his fine art career by night, one of Michael’s first design jobs, a short film titled “The Room,” won top prizes at Cannes, Sundance, and MOMA in 1993. Once bitten, Michael realised production design was the perfect career to mould all his creative interests under one roof. Consequently, Michael approaches every film as an artist.
He has just completed the limited series "The Staircase" for HBO.
Michael lives in Piermont, New York, with his wife, producer Jill Footlick, and dog, Wilson.
