Rat Fink Films, LLC was founded in 2008 by Jeffrey Michel to replace Paracelsus Productions. LLC (2006-2008) which produced the narrative short “Be Happy” (2006), the documentary short “To Cut is to Cure” (2007), the music video “Million Miles Away” for local Austin band Low Rent (2006) and the TV Pilot “where in the World is my Wife?”
Jeff grew up making animated super 8mm films with a Cannon that he bought at age 12 with money he earned selling refreshments at football games. He studied film at Rice University with Brian Huberman before taking a 16 year hiatus from film making to attend Medical School and ultimately become a practicing Cardiologist in Austin Texas.
Jeff has been a member of the Austin Film Society since 2006.
