One of many accomplished films Michele Paris has worked on is "Away We Go" directed by Sam Mendes. While shooting the film, it was called Farlanders after the main character's last name Bert Farlander played by John Krasinski. Shot in Conneticut, Arizona and Miami, Florida, Maya Rudolph was wearing a prosthetic stomach to make her look pregnant throughout the entire movie. "The stomach was very hot to wear but Maya never complained and working with her and the entire cast was a wonderful experience."

In 1990, the first major motion picture Michele worked on was "A League of Their Own" directed by Penny Marshall. One of the actors was Madonna, who was already a huge star. "I was in my early twenties and was a big fan of her early albums. At the wrap party I was blessed to share the dance floor with one of my teen Idols."
