Michael Gracey is a feature and music video director who began his filmmaking career as an animator, a commercials director, and a visual effects designer. He then made his feature directorial debut with the mega-hit biopic musical The Greatest Showman (2017), which starred Hugh Jackman as P.T.

Gracey returned as director/co-writer/producer with another big-scale biopic musical, Better Man (2024), a fanciful account of the life and career of pop singer Robbie Williams, co-starring Williams himself and Jonno Davies in a motion capture performance (also as Williams, but as a CGI chimpanzee), with Steve Pemberton and Alison Steadman, and which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and was released wide by Paramount Pictures (U.S.)/Entertainment Film Distributors (U.K.)/Roadshow Films (Australia).
Gracey was a lead producer only on director/writer Jeremy Zag’s computer-animated musical, Melody (date to be announced), with Katy Perry in the starring voice role.
