DirectedByFrancis

I’m Michael Francis Weimann, the director and filmmaker behind DirectedbyFrancis. Based in the New York City metropolitan area, I work with clients nationwide to create visually striking, story-driven video content. I specialize in documentary filmmaking, interviews, event and concert coverage, and social media advertising. Whether I’m capturing an intimate interview, a live performance, or a large-scale brand campaign, my focus is always the same: real moments, honest storytelling, and cinematic visuals that connect.

 

With nearly a decade of experience directing, shooting, and editing, I bring a hands-on, director-led approach to every project. I’m available locally, nationally, and remotely, and I bring the same level of care to projects of every size.
