Michael Prywes

Michael Prywes (born October 8, 1974 in New York, NY, U.S.), is an American director, producer, author, attorney, and screenwriter. He began his film career as an undergraduate at Northwestern University. His feature film directing debut, Returning Mickey Stern had its theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles on April 25, 2003 and its DVD release in 2006. The collapse of his follow-up feature, The King of Summer, led to the 2005 New York Supreme Court lawsuit Prywes v. Eight Entertainment, et al. The production had been featured in the "Hollywood Reporter".

Michael currently teaches law, producing, and writing at Five Towns College, and has taught law at LIU-Brooklyn and writing at CUNY Queens College. He also serves as a guest lecturer at graduate courses, and continues to serve as a consultant, panelist, and judge at various film festivals.

On May 20, 2001, Michael married Devra Scheikowitz Prywes, who is also an entertainment and media executive. They met Devra's first day at Northwestern.
