A 1st generation Colombian-American development executive, producer, writer, director and consultant, Miguel Berg cultivated his entertainment career through his experience at NBC Universal, Warner Bros, and as Head of Development for Gamechanger Films (The Inspection, Run Sweetheart Run, Passing). From his early award-winning producing work at Discovery's Travel Channel to later uniting over 70+ countries worldwide by founding his own international film festival, his impact has elevated creative talent worldwide. Whether as juror for the Annapolis Film Festival, the Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, USC's First Look Program, his alma mater Chapman University's First Cut Program or as mentor for the Women of Color Unite #StartWith8 Hollywood cohorts, he has championed the next generation of creative talent to reach success through his creative feedback and advocacy for inclusion within the entertainment landscape. Consequently, some writers and directors have later landed other fellowships and film financing opportunities with organizations like the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP), Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF), Inside Out Film Festival, Latinx List and Netflix.

Throughout his 15+ industry experience, he has also been "in the room", engaging with Heads of State in Latin America to lay the framework for international business opportunities and incentives that continue to provide jobs for creatives and economic success for businesses to this day.
