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 is cuurently out at festivals and has so far been selected at AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL where it won the Marquee FIlm AUDIENCE AWARD. RAVENS has also been selected at TOKYO FILM FESTIVAL and the GOLDEN HORSE FESTIVAL in Tapei.
The films stars ASANO TADANOBU - breakout star of Disney's SHÕGUN series. RAVENS will be released in 2025.
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
