Her most recent credits include Executive Producing Summer Qamp - audience award runner-up at ‘TIFF 2023, Canada’s Drag Race, the country's top-rated SVOD series, and Canada VS The World (CRAVE) as well as directing the trans makeover series Shine True (VICE) and show-running two seasons of the award-winning art series In The Making (CBC).

Through this project, Michelle celebrates the fearless spirit of Carole Pope, a queer maverick whose trailblazing journey with Rough Trade reshaped perceptions of sex and sexuality.
