Michael Griffiths
Writer / Director
UK-born, New Orleans-based filmmaker. Michael works in a self-shooting, run-and-gun observational style — operating as the sole crew member on set to stay invisible and close to the moment.
Who We Are
About Lemon Kelly
Lemon Kelly is an independent film production company based in New Orleans. We make character-driven, observational films rooted in street life and the real culture of the city — the hustles, the performances, and the people the postcards leave out.
Our work is deliberately raw. We shoot on location, run-and-gun, with the smallest possible footprint — chasing authenticity over polish. The result is cinema that feels lived-in rather than staged.
