Michael Angelo Covino

Michael Angelo Covino, born December 10, 1984, outta Mount Kisco, New York. Guy’s got a knack for both producing and acting, which, let’s be real, isn’t something you see every day. He’s not just some random face either—his name pops up in credits for stuff like The Climb (2019), this indie film that snuck up on everyone with its oddball humor and raw honesty. If you haven’t seen it, well, you’re missing out on a hilarious, awkward bromance that hits weirdly close to home. Covino’s also behind Kicks (2016), a gritty coming-of-age flick that dives into sneaker culture and the messiness of growing up when everything’s stacked against you. The guy doesn’t shy away from stories with bite—Hunter Gatherer (2016) is another one where he flexes his range, getting into the nitty-gritty of folks trying to piece life back together after it all falls apart. He’s not just a one-trick pony, either. Whether he’s in front of the camera or behind it, Covino brings this vibe that screams authenticity. He doesn’t play it safe—his projects have a way of balancing humor and heartbreak without feeling forced or preachy. You get the sense he’s drawn to stories that aren’t afraid to get a little ugly, a little uncomfortable, but always real. That’s probably why folks keep an eye on what he’s doing next—he’s got that rare mix of guts and heart, and honestly, the indie film scene’s better for it.
