About Mark
I'm an artist-entrepreneur and the founder of indie production company, CruZor Productions.
My first feature film 'DaEMON The Mirror Lies' (2019) is a multi-award winning psycho-thriller, written, produced and edited by me (I also played a supporting role in the film). It is presently streaming internationally on Amazon Prime.
My first short film ‘Saudade’ (2020) is also a multi-award winning narrative scripted, produced, directed, and edited by me.
Find my work on YouTube, Facebook (@ CruZor Productions) and Instagram (@mark_gruneart & @cruzor_productions).
In addition to filmmaking, I've performed in theatre, and own an online art gallery. I enjoy painting, playing the guitar / keyboard, and an occasional great game of tennis.
