He has produced/directed several television commercials, a TV pilot, and a documentary, and his debut horror short, The Dollhouse, was screened at more than 15 international festivals and won several awards.
Three of Mark's other screenplays are currently in development, and he is expected to make his feature directorial debut later this year with the cultural drama, Con Alas Pintadas (On painted Wings) to be shot in the Dominican Republic in conjunction with Tesoro Pictures out of New Mexico.
