With both an OSCAR and BAFTA nomination to his credit, Mark is obviously passionate about film.
Others may like films but Mark has always loved “film”.
There’s a difference.
He loves everything about it. Not just the way a film is written, cast and acted but the way it’s shot, lit and edited. So it was no surprise that Mark became a director. And a writer. And a photographer. He’s all about film.
THE VOORMAN PROBLEM, for example, starring Martin Freeman and Tom Hollander was nominated for an OSCAR® and a BAFTA.
This led him to co-write and direct ENGLAND IS MINE, a full-length feature about Morrissey. Mark grew up Stretford, just like The Smiths’ enigmatic frontman. He was also a professional musician, so who better to tell this story?
Mark's second feature RAVENS has been selected at over 15 international festivals including AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL winning the Marquee FIlm AUDIENCE AWARD and the BALINALE winning the CRITIC'S CHOICE AWARD. RAVENS has also been selected at TOKYO FILM FESTIVAL, the GOLDEN HORSE FESTIVAL in Tapei as well as the NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL.
The films stars ASANO TADANOBU - the Golden Globe winning star of Disney's SHÕGUN series.
RAVENS was released in 2025 in Japan and will be released globally in 2026..
RAVENS is a love story about the legendary Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase and his wife Yoko.
A film about “film”.
There was only ever going to be one man for the job.
In 2020 Mark published his his photographic book: The Airborne Toxic Event
