Cindy Mich, Award Winning Journalist

About Me

I am both an award-winning journalist/media personality who also happens to be both a filmmaker and Founder of the independent film festival, Art is Alive, now in its eighth year. My total listening audience is at 205,000 to date. I also own and operate my own publication entitled Elegant Expressions Magazine. My readership is at 8,300 an issue. I perform the duties of a professional film judge for my festival and numerous others, and I have screened over 900 films in the last few years. I am called upon regularly to cover red carpet events, film premieres, business launches and special events. I am about to release my series on medical misdiagnosis (Hurt by Healthcare). I do act as publicist for select actors/filmmakers, small business owners and non-profits. Finally, my public access TV show, Cin's Chat Corner, is now airing in seventeen states and has a combined following of 2.5 million subscribers.

A Heavenly Visitor (EBook)

I wrote this children's book quite some time ago. It is a close re-enactment to an incident involving myself while traveling on a bus one day. It is amazing the types of individuals that you come across in that fashion. Little was I to know that the one stranger I would literally bump into would be an actual angel.

Film Festival Coverage

In the course of the last eight years, I have covered a multitude of film festivals. At times, I was a Founder just supporting another Founder. Sometimes, I did on site interviews - or film reviews. Other times, I was covering a red carpet or doing on camera interviews.

Past examples of events covered include: AFI, Tribeca Film Festival, HollyShorts, Bentonville Film Festival, San Francisco Documentary Film Festival, Golden Door Int Film Festival, Long Island Int Film Expo, and SoHo Film Festival.

The Art is Alive Magazine

Listed below are the nine issues that I published - and the first one went live in December of 2019. The love of my life became ill in 2021, and I stopped doing everything that year. Tragically, he passed on December 2, 2021 from stomach cancer. He was my partner in love and business, and therefore, I gave up the publication because he was not here to manage the site and photography.

Cin's Chat Corner Radio Show

I have been broadcasting for the last ten or so years. It all started one day when an internet-based radio station CEO approached me about doing a show. My exact response was, I have never even done radio before, and I sound like a boy lol. I consulted with a local musician on what to do, and his advice was - just f****** doing it. What is the worst thing that can happen? Nervously, I approached one of the Real Housewives to be my first guest, and she graciously agreed. Here I am now, doing shows each month with a total audience of 205,000 spread across twenty states with a 15% international following. I write all show scripts, produce each show, and book all guests. To hear past episodes, visit: Cins Chat Corner • A podcast on Spotify for Podcasters

My intent with this festival is simple: bring art alive again. This will be an event that emphasizes less on celebrity appearances and red carpets. It is a forum for filmmakers and fans to meet and merge minds. It has become a foundation of fun while showcasing artistic souls and their work. It truly honors the czars of independent cinema, and to initiate my platform of helping others to pursue their passions. I am so thrilled that my festival, over the course of the last six years, has done so much to help the filmmaking community. Those who have met through my event have gone on to work together to make more movies. I am proud to say that I have provided numerous Q and A panels that are both thought provoking and truly in-depth. I am delighted that many filmmakers have left the festival not just with laurels, but also film reviews, interviews at and after the festival, as well as being offered distribution on various platforms. I am also told that my festival is a very friendly, hands on experience that allows for numerous networking opportunities. Lastly, I am able to honor the lives and legendary work of those in and out of Hollywood.
