In 2009 Michelle wrote and produced a pilot, The Goods. Mi Madre, My Father is Michelle’s directorial debut.
Reared by an abusive, pill-popping mother and an absentee father, six-year-old Valentina must fend for herself. The only adults who seem to watch out for her are Robert and Benjamin, the couple across the hall. Valentina does what she can to craft the illusion of normalcy, but Robert observes that the situation has reached a crisis point.
