WHADDAYGOT? Productions

is named in spirit after the iconic Marlon Brando response from THE WILD ONE when his character, Johnny, is asked, “What are you rebelling against?”… Spearhead and Founder Mike Caravella pledges to keep that bold, independent, maverick spirit alive in all of his creative content and continue to defy all industry and societal norms.

Mike Caravella is an independent filmmaker, actor, and creator of the cult hit Astral Plane Drifter. A former East New York, Brooklyn kid who survived a near-fatal childhood accident and multiple brushes with death, Mike brings an authentic toughness, humor, and larger-than-life presence to everything he does. With acting credits on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Sopranos, Superstore, and Minx, he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in Astral Plane Drifter — a wild, genre-blending Western/Sci-Fi/Kung-Fu/Comedy that has been called “a cult-classic midnight movie” by reviewers and compared to The Big Lebowski, El Topo, Flash Gordon, and Cheech & Chong. Since releasing the film, Mike has taken a relentless roadshow approach — screening at film festivals (where it won Film Threat’s “Best WTF?” Award and earned a Movie of the Year nomination), comic conventions, and DIY event screenings across the country. He travels with a full red carpet setup, merch table (including limited edition “Green-Rays”), and always does personal Q&As after the film. Known for his charismatic “Drifter” persona, signature style, and direct connection with fans, Mike is a natural crowd-pleaser who turns every appearance into a memorable experience.
