TESTIMONIALS

 
 
 

“Mark is an incredible asset to have on any production. Versatile and highly skilled, he's equally adept at run-and-gun actuality shooting (harder than it looks) and high-end considered storytelling with prime lenses. He's super fit and would give anybody a run for their money in the most hostile of shooting environments. His steely intelligence and experience give him a highly evolved editorial nous, but he's also extremely personable - so popular with both contributors and talent. Best of all, he's a genuinely lovely guy and a first-class team player who conducts himself without a shred of ego. For all these reasons, he's somebody Workerbee seeks to hire at every opportunity!”

“Mark was one of our edit producers on Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold for Nat Geo/Disney+. He hit the ground running, got to grips with rushes quickly and thoroughly, and ultimately delivered a really strong film. His experience of being on location in challenging, remote environments was invaluable, as was his clear sense of storytelling and narrative structure.”

JAMES SMITH, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - PLIMSOLL PRODUCTIONS

 
 
 

“Mark is a rare talent. He’s not only a PD that excels in recognising, following and producing great story, but he also shoots to an extremely high standard and is adept at working in a variety of extreme environments. He’s calm, measured, hardworking, organised, resourceful and creative. Mark is a clear thinker and plans for the edit, instinctively knowing what is needed to make his programmes highly watchable. I would work with Mark again anytime.”

JON CAHN, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - MULTISTORY MEDIA

“Mark is the epitome of professionalism and a pleasure to work with. He seamlessly combines his keen sense of story with an exquisite flair for visual storytelling. He is great at fostering trust with talent and contributors, which is pivotal in unraveling and capturing emotion and drama, in actuality. Mark's adaptability in various shooting environments is always impressive. I recall spending 18 gruelling hours filming on a tiny boat with him during a huge storm on the English channel. Despite the challenging conditions, Mark nailed it, as ever.”
