About Mark

Mark Sanderson (aka @Scriptcat) is a Los Angeles based screenwriter, script consultant, author, lecturer, and sometimes actor blessed to be living his childhood dream of making movies in genres ranging from comedy to drama — from his sketch comedy writing and performing as a founding member with The Amazing Onionheads, writing for MTV, to his spec sale, and two dozen screenplay assignments with television premieres and worldwide distribution of his seventeen films.

Mark's films have had theatrical runs and premiered on Lifetime Network, LMN, SyFy, Fox, HereTV, HBO Canada, Lifetime Canada, Christmas 24, NBC/Universal, and The Movie Network among others, and have been distributed globally. His films have been recognized at festivals including a premiere and opening the Palm Springs Int. Film Festival, premieres at the Hawaii Int. Film Festival, St. Louis Int. Film Festival, The Rainbow Festival in Hawaii, Newport Beach Int. Film Festival, Fort Lauderdale Int. Festival, and nominated for the Starboy award at the Oulu Int. Children's Film Festival in Finland.
