Los Angeles native Michael Segal brings a distinctive blend of entertainment industry experience and forward-looking legal strategy to his role at RAMO. He advises clients across scripted and unscripted film, television, and digital media, with a particular focus on guiding complex productions and transactions from development through distribution for projects such as Pretty Babies (Wagner Entertainment), First to the Finish (Boardwalk Pictures), and Babies (AGC Studios). Michael’s practice spans both lender-side and producer-side financing, and he has contributed to the successful closing of notable projects including The Kill Room and Terrifier 3.
