About Me

Miguel Ramirez is a Salvadoran-American filmmaker from South Los Angeles who was raised in a single-parent household by his father. Seeing the struggles that his family faced in their working environments, Miguel decided to seek revenge in the only way he knew possible by writing. He uses writing to record the dark, humorous, and absurd incidents that his family faced as housekeepers, drivers, and in the food service industry.  He saw television as the perfect outlet to share these common stories of family, prejudice, and class discrimination. His drive to expand the film and television world to include more stories centering on communities of color and other underrepresented groups propelled his work at Lionsgate, MediaRes/Apple, and The Mission. Miguel was also selected to participate in National Hispanic Media Coalition’s Series Script Writers Program sponsored by Disney and Netflix. He was awarded  $25,000 by Dolby and Ghetto Film School to write and direct a short film. He was also selected to be a Deutsche Bank Frieze Los Angeles Film Fellow where he is writing and directing a short about technology and Los Angeles.Miguel started working as a writers’ assistant on the animated reboot, Everybody Still Hates Chris, for Paramount+ and Comedy Central. When he is not seeking revenge, you can find Miguel eating Korean food, reading ethnic studies, and calling out some billionaire on Twitter.
