Michele Sutter, President and Director.  Before co-founding MOVI in 2012, Michele was a writer, teacher, occasional producer and even more occasionally, a performer. She is a former Story Editor at HBO and a former co-chair of The 29th Street Project, a New York City based theater artists' cooperative.  She taught ESL in the Los Angeles Unified School District and directed a "loop group" providing background chatter for film and TV.  She produced the 2009 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award winning musical adaptation of Aristophanes' The Wasps and - 

- then the Citizen United v FEC decision came down in January of 2010.

Since co-founding MOVI, Michele has led the campaigns to pass the MOVI sponsored Overturn Citizens United Act twice (!) through the California Legislature, and she chaired the successful 2016 Yes on 59, The Overturn Citizens United Act, California ballot measure campaign, where California voters passed Proposition 59, instructing their California lawmakers to "use all of their constitutional authority" to overturn Citizen United v. FEC.

She is a graduate of Princeton University and a recipient of a Nicholl Fellowship in screenwriting from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
