Michael Thomas Slifkin

Award-winning producer and filmmaker with over three decades of hustling in the wild world of film and TV, this guy’s seen it all. As principal and partner at Archstone Entertainment and Archstone Pictures, he’s had a hand in more than 150 projects—yeah, that’s not a typo. He’s done everything: producing, selling, buying, wrangling contracts, budgeting, and somehow keeping all those plates spinning while building business alliances left and right. Recently, he wrapped “Exit Protocol,” a wild ride starring Dolph Lundgren, Michael Jai White, Scott Martin, and Charlotte Kirk—shot in 2024, currently in the editing dungeon. His resume’s packed: “Best Man,” an action flick with Luke Wilson and Dolph Lundgren; “Big Kill,” a western with Jason Patrick and Lou Diamond Phillips; “Don’t Kill It,” which blends action, thriller, and horror with, you guessed it—Lundgren. He’s produced everything from WWII dragon dogfights in “P-51 Dragon Fighter” to “Battle Force,” a WWII actioner that actually made its money back (and more) in record time. He’s also been the brains behind docs and features like “Longevity Hackers” with Edward Norton and Tony Hawk, “Operation Taco Gary's,” “You Gotta Believe,” “Don Q,” and “United States of Horror-Chapter 3.” He even goes way back—worked on “Hard Promises,” “Radio Active Dreams,” “The Terminator,” and “This is Spinal Tap.” TV credits? Tons, from “Auto Maniac” to “Sweet Valley High” to “Little House on the Prairie.” Basically, if it’s on a screen, he’s probably had something to do with it.
