MICHAEL DOSHIER (he/they) is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker whose work explores identity, coming-of-age, and the emotional complexity of belonging. A gay city-dweller who spent his formative years in the Bible Belt, Michael draws on the tension between home and self to tell character-driven stories with humor and heart.

His debut feature THROUPLE, an open-relationship romcom set in Brooklyn’s underground music scene, was released theatrically in June 2025 (domestic: Dekkoo Films; international: TLA). The film garnered press from Esquire and Queerty, sold out screenings at festivals worldwide, and its screenplay was inducted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Core Collection.

Michael’s follow-up RONITA RAMBO brings his unbridled queer perspective home to the southern Ozarks. The feature screenplay was selected as the winner of the 2025 Missouri Film Office’s "Missouri Stories Competition," where he was invited to shoot a short film (as a proof of concept) on location. That short film is currently on the 2026 festival circuit, earning the Audience Award at Boston: Wicked Queer, Honorable Mention for Best Short at Miami: Outshine, and The Rural Instersectionality Fund Award at SeriesFest. It is also an official selection at Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ Toronto, and other queer film festivals across the world. The feature script for RONITA RAMBO was a semifinalist in the Academy Nicholl Fellowship (one of only 150 scripts out of 5,599), as well as a second-round selection at the Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition and the Sundance Development Lab.

Michael is also an award-winning performer, with sold-out solo shows at The PIT’s SoloCom Festival and Fringe Festivals in New York City and Prague. He holds a BFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch, where he received the Venable Herndon Award for Excellence in Screenwriting.
