About Mike Berry:
Mike Berry began his career in entertainment in 1998 with his first rap album, "Weight of the World," which made it into Billboard Charts top R&B/Hip Hop albums. His sophomore album, "8mm Film" spawned the hit single, "Me without a Rhyme," which also charted in Billboard Magazine's Top 100. His first feature film, "The Skip Thomas Project" screened in 2012. In 2014, Mike helped adapt the screenplay, "If You Knew Better, You'd Do Better," written by Cleveland Native and award-winning playwright Philly Weeden, and later went on to be the movie's Director and Co-Producer. Mike has also directed with the likes of Omar Gooding, Clifton Powell, and Joe Estevez in the hit film "Banger", which premiered on DirectTv in 2018. He also directed and co-produced "Hey Mr. Postman," a comedy featuring Paula Jai Parker, A.J. Johnson, and Rodney Perry. In 2018, Mike directed "Ray Jr's Rent Due", which showcased social media heavyweights Ha-Ha Davis, B-Simone, Landon Romano, and Rap icon Machine Gun Kelly, and was picked up by Starz/Hulu.
When not filming, Mike heads "Releasing The Pressure," a non-profit which serves as a resource for those who deal with (or suspect they are dealing with) depression. His latest film "A State of Mind" also tackles depression.
Mike is a firm believer in the idea, "Work with what you have right now, RIGHT NOW!"
