Morgan Muscat is the producer behind Severance (2010) starring Ash Catherwood. Originally, Morgan Muscat started out working as a production assistant (a job that he still does here and there) climbing his way up the ladder. He also bought the rights to the Stephen King short story "Suffer The Little Children" which he plans to produce into a short future starring Astrida Auza. We took a min. out to ask Morgan a few questions, here is what he had to say.
So who is Morgan Muscat and what is he all about?
I’m an independent filmmaker based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and I write and produce short films and mini documentaries under my small production company, Moonlit Road Entertainment, which I formed in 2005. In 2008, I graduated with honors from the Media Arts program at Sheridan College and have since been working steadily in the industry, working on personal independent projects as well as mainstream productions.
