Finding Out About Michael Schultz

The movie that I chose to do for my paper was Krush Groove, which was directed by Michael Schultz. Finding info on Michael was not as easy as I thought it would be; I had to travel to at least 6 web pages to find bits and pieces of information on him. The first step that I took in finding information on the director was to search Krush Groove in Google to find out who directed it. Wikipedia was the first link that came up so I clicked on it to try and figure out who directed the movie.

I read the first few sentences of it to see where they mention Shultz’s name, which had a link to another Wikipedia page about him. This page had a mini biography about Schultz and a link at the very bottom of the page. This link brought me to a site called IMDb, an internet movie database in which you can search for anything movie or television related. This includes information on characters, actors, writers, and producers of almost any movie that you can think of, so it made sense to look here for information. It was pretty reliable in content and the movies he directed were in chronological order. After seeing a list of his works, I had very little sense of who the director was so I tried searching for him in yahoo instead. Four web pages later, I was at allmovie.com reading an equally small biography on Schultz.

Finding information on Michael Schultz was very frustrating due to the lack of information that is out on him and the fact that there are other Michael Schultz’s out there. On the other hand, the last movie he made was in 1987 so that could be understandable to a certain extent.
