Returning to the music industry until 2020 when he launched the Florida based film company, Bad Clown Films with the intent of producing low-budget independent horror films. Shortly after starting that film company the nation was hit with the Covid-19 crisis and Malott, a resident of Florida was disturbed by the handling of the state's pandemic response by then Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis which resulted in Malott changing course and creating a documentary film entitled, Killing a State to document the mishandling of the pandemic by the state's leader. The documentary features interviews and commentary not only from several leading Florida based politicians, but national figures as well including Dr. Anthony Fauci, Andrew Cuomo and others. The documentary also features comments from doctors, teachers and residents that were adversely affected. Malott maintained his film production company called, Michael Malott Films which he started in the late 90's although the company was inactive from 1995 to 2020.
