Mark began making short films on the streets of West Los Angeles at 15 years of age. He credits those formative years for his first feature film job—operating one of the Panavision cameras for Jan DeBont’s (Die Hard, Speed) debut film in the U.S. In the intervening years he guided young director Jon Turteltaub (While You Were Sleeping, National Treasure) by shooting Jon’s first feature film, then becoming an award-winning cinematographer in multiple U.S./International film competitions. He has been the DP/camera operator on 21 feature films, and the second-unit Director of Photography on six films.
