Micah Perta
about micah
As Tracy Morgan would say, Steve Unlimited director partner Micah Perta is a genius motherf&%ker. He would also probably let you know that Micah cut his teeth writing and directing for the infamous MTV promos department and has had the pleasure of directing everyone from Martha Stewart to Snoop Dogg, Colin Jost to Conan O’Brien, Don Cheadle to Kate McKinnon, Steph Curry to Dwayne Johnson, just to name a few. NBD.
Through his unique storytelling style and comedic POV, Micah has directed award-winning work for world-renowned brands. In addition to MTV, he’s worked with Verizon, Pepsi, Toyota, Michelob, Hershey’s, Wendy’s, and Stride Gum, among others. His side projects have been praised by the New York Times and have garnered millions of hits on YouTube, while his short film starring Olivia Wilde, premiered at the Nantucket Film Festival along with being a Short of the Week.
A few things you may not guess about Micah after spending a night out with him at a bar: Micah is often mistaken as a third brother to his two adult sons, mainly due to his youth and healthy head of hair; the first vinyl he owned was Thriller, he likes jumping off tall cliffs into water and editing the jumps together into a vanity project set to music; he can kind of tap dance and he speaks fluent Spanish and Italian.
Whatever the project, brand, or medium, Micah brings creativity and a thoughtful alchemy to his work – hopefully making you laugh, or at the very least say WTF.
