Mick McCormick is a writer and filmmaker drawn to the uneasy space between authenticity and performance. Across horror, comedy, and satire, his work explores characters who reshape themselves in pursuit of acceptance, often discovering that the identities they’ve constructed become their own prisons. -- His most recent film, ROT, follows an engagement-bait content creator who develops an increasingly intimate relationship with the goopy creature that emerges from her floorboards. 

He currently works as Oberlin Film Society Coordinator, and as an Assistant Editor for StoryLens Pictures.

Mick graduated from Oberlin College with a B.A. in Cinema and Media and a minor in Studio Art.  At Oberlin, he was selected as one of four Media Associates, where he taught workshops, held lab hours, and provided production support to fellow filmmakers.
