About me

I'm an Editor, Camera Operator,DP and occasionally a Director. I have been a regular freelancer at CNN International for the last 2 years I also have experience working on short films, events video, short documentaries and music videos. Previous to moving to London I ran my own production company for 3 years.
Referees:
“Everything Everything” - Geffen Records

“We worked with Mark on our first three
music videos, all of which were successes,
mostly due to his ingenious and dedicated
work. Mark was able to find technical
solutions to our ideas, as well as contributing
his own, many of which changed the course
of the shoots. He worked tirelessly and amiably,
sourcing all crew and equipment. We cannot
recommend Mark as a multifaceted filmmaker
highly enough.”

Ben Reed – Spearfish Ltd.

“Mark has the knowledge and ability to
make any shoot an overwhelming success.
Mark produced a wonderful film that fully
encapsulates what our EuroCultured festival
is all about. Mark explained the film-making
process, hired and managed all the
equipment and crew, as well as filming at
the event itself and editing the 25 minute
documentary. Mark was an absolute
pleasure to work with and I thoroughly
recommend working with him”
