Mark is a British-American filmmaker with 20+ years' international film experience spanning global development, production, acquisitions and distribution. 

New York-based and London-born from a Jamaican family with a busy history of generational movement, he’s a thoughtful storyteller driven by outsider themes of resilience and moral duplicity whose character-driven work has been supported by Film Independent, NALIP, Cine Sony, Mid Atlantic Arts, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and Bergen County Arts of New Jersey. Most recently, he wrote and produced the USA-Ecuador short film co-production, I Am Not The Last a speculative human drama about displacement and inheritance.

Mark previously worked script-stage film acquisitions for executive producer Cedric Jeanson at Filmbox, and for Little Magic Films/Toshiba Entertainment, a leading Japanese distributor of director-driven films from bold visionaries such as Marc Forster, Kenneth Branagh and Terry Gilliam, and intimate storytellers like Jonathan Glazer, Francois Ozon and Zhang Yang. He also managed worldwide distribution operations for Jonathan Teplitzky’s Australian Academy Award-nominated film, Burning Man, and crewed on Mia Hansen-Løve's French drama, Eden, and Comedy Central’s Important Things With Demetri Martin executive-produced by Jon Stewart.

Dench Arnold, a UK film and literary agency, is where Mark started his career. He holds a first class MA in International Relations from Queen Mary University London and a BA in Italian with Film from the University of Warwick, UK. He has lived in Japan and Italy but these days is based in New York where he is currently writing and, as a long suffering Tottenham Hotspur fan, is grateful for the enduring support of his wife and two forgiving children.
