Biography

Multiple Telly Award winning Director Michael B. Chait found mainstream success with his first feature film Wolf Hound (2022). Acquired and distributed by Lionsgate and their Grindstone Entertainment Group, the film was given a limited theatrical release in the U.S. and Canada and was a VOD hit, consistently ranking in the top 20 new film releases on Amazon for more than two months after its premiere, in addition to remarkably robust international territory sales.

Following the success that indie action hit Wolf Hound (2022) provided as proof of concept, Chait piqued the interest of Lionsgate executives, and is in discussions about his next feature film project.

Chait began his career Directing commercials for clients including Volkswagen, Honda, Falcon Motorsports, The Yankee Air Museum, The U.S. Air Force/Air National Guard, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, and music videos for artists including James Maslow of Big Time Rush, Apl.de.Ap of The Black Eyed Peas, and more.

First inspired to become a Director at the age of 12, the determined Detroit native went on to graduate with a BA in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago. During his time in Chicago, Chait solidified relationships with fellow future filmmakers who would go on to be his collaborative partners in Wolf Hound (2022).
