He is also involved in filmmaking and has so far acted as a producer on the films Spring Forward, Being John Malkovich and Olive, the Other Reindeer (which was a T.V. movie); a co-producer on The Limey and American Movie; an executive producer on Our Song and Velvet Goldmine (which, incidentally, co-stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers who is HOT as all goatfuck). His film production company is called Single Cell Films. The Internet Movie Database lists his production company as being called C-1OO. I hadn't ever heard of that one, but Dem bones said: "Michael Stipe started C-100 films to do videos for R.E.M. around the time of reckoning (1983). The company is occasionally used for projects." So, yep. there ya go.
In summation: This Man Kicks Your Ass.
