“We were fortunate enough to discover Mark last year when he was recommended to King’s. Very quickly he became our preferred film maker. Mark has a talent and confidence that ensures he always delivers on brief. I have had the pleasure of seeing Mark work on a range of films from straight corporate videos to short-films and documentaries and he is amazing and – most impressively – cool under pressure given how in demand he always is.”
