mike@urbanmouse.comAs a child, Mike was introduced to the visual arts through comic book illustrators such as Jim Lee. Drawing became an obsessive pastime both in and out of the classroom. His love for the visual medium quickly expanded to include animation and film as he matured. In 2002, paper and pencil transformed into camera and lens.

Born on the island of Guam, Mike’s creativity and determination carried him to New York City in 1998 at the age of 18. In true “Make it in New York” fashion, Mike’s story over the next twelve years would include a homeless adventure, breakdancing in Times Square, successful careers from retail to NBC, a Bachelor’s in Film and Media Studies, a Master’s in Cinematography (May 2010), and a pet RedTail Boa Constrictor named Luscious.

Currently, Mike Hechanova and fellow DP Spike Bauman represent two halves of UrbanMouse Productions LLC.

Mike’s resume includes four feature films and numerous shorts, music videos, web and tv ads (long and short form) and corporate videos.
