MICHAEL AN'GILEO

aka "THE PERFORMANCE ART PRESIDENT" (as seen on YouTube) has been dubbed an "American original" for his work to inspire the United States.

Never having set foot in a political science classroom (but willing to debate any Ivy league professor), he offers vigorous "stewardship" for America's future, to a graceful state of abidance in our majestic Constitution and founding documents, respect of our heritage, starbursting our Christian faith, a mighty gallop toward civic education, and a vision for a future worthy of the word "Revival."

Michael is one bold patriot for America - a visionary, and a teacher, with students from across the globe. 

Michael An'gileo is not currently a candidate for any political office.

He was born in Buffalo, New York, to a father of Macedonian heritage who hailed from that same blue-collar town, a landing point for many European immigrants. His mother is a 2nd generation Italian American, a Buffalonian also, with distinguished veterans in her family line (a Bronze Star U.S. Marine).

Growing up on the westside of Los Angeles, Michael was a dedicated boy scout (he hiked the Vasquez Rocks), an NHS/CFS honor recipient, a Classical Latin student and high school athlete. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from USC with a degree in Cinema, and in his sophomore summer, studied in Florence Italy, at the Centro Lorenzo de Medici. He had a very early spiritual calling, and while being attracted to film producing throughout his 20s, since childhood Michael has possessed a feverish interest in American History and the Christ Destiny of America - this would bear fruit later. 

Michael is the nephew of legendary TV producer, Nick Vanoff ("The Hollywood Palace," "The Kennedy Center Honors," and others) and has ventured into many fields, deserving of the moniker "Renaissance Man." Those include campaign management, independent publishing (at 22), film producing, legal recruiting (for the Am Law-100), entrepreneurship (Michael was the CEO/President of the company that demo-ed the first streaming video software, i.e., Vanoff Multimedia Group for client, Vivo Software, Inc.) and most prominently, and devotedly, teaching, with students from over 40 countries worldwide - finally, writing his trailblazing books.

"PERSISTENCE OF VISION" 

A MOTION PICTURE: written, produced and directed by 

michael an'gileo

My character Keith Dartman (here portrayed by actor, Kenneth Hughes) was more than a short film archetype, but the embodiment of a powerful phrase - a call to endure against insurmountable odds - that has sustained my entire life.

I left my film degree from USC and a path to Hollywood success, to pursue my true love, being a teacher and, later, a follower of Jesus Christ. My life, since, has had great meaning and purpose.

"EMBLEM AMERICA" (booK review)

Read the full Amazon Review:

The prophetic tradition is long and established and Michael An'gileo's Emblem America touches on deep rooted impulses within humanity to do good and be righteous in the world. Although America stumbles and appears to be weakening, An'gileo summons scripture and a prophetic clarion call to declare that as the "grandest faith-based nation in the world," America is poised to usher in a change of the human heart. A change toward timeless principles such as charity, compassion, discipline -- to inspire a higher and divine calling toward service to others; classic Christian ideals in an era when idealism has taken short shrift to cynical, political advantage. This book is a sermon. And as such, frames the rebirth of America in spiritual terms; synergistically, An'gileo pulls together new thinking and new thought and blends these illuminations with an unpacking of something wholly temporal -- a spiritual audit of several American Presidents, their administrations, and their contributions toward the ascension of humankind. Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and even Donald Trump. What would a future American president embody were she to embrace both spiritualism and scientific perspective? What would a future President be able to achieve combining the best attributes of Lincoln, Kennedy, Reagan, and Trump but leave the chaff behind? This work frames a prophetic and deeply spiritual mind at work. It is a notepad of prophecy and I expect new chapters to deliver more ecumenical, interfaith, and synergistic evangel from the author, Michael An'gileo.

my life, my story

"I want people to know all about me. My past, my history, my influences. My book - Godspell BHHS - tells the story of my early life, the nephew of a famous TV producer, yet a normal kid who loved football, GI Joe, and singer, Neil Diamond."

"About my name change, it's a remarkable story."

"When I became an author, I decided to take a nom de plume (pen name) but wanted it to have a connection to my family roots. My great grandfather was a Sicilian immigrant named "Michele Vincenzo Giglia," but a mis-printed birth document showed his name as Gileo and this engendered An'gileo for ease of pronunciation."

"By an odd mistake, that erroneously spelled surname on a weathered hospital Birth Return - or perhaps by destiny - I would become Michael An'gileo."
