Mark writes:
Regarding "what I'm doing", I mostly work with corporate and non-profit organizations for the normal day to day. Documentaries are also something I work on. "A Ripple of Hope", the project on which the attached photo was taken, is being distributed for television domestically and worldwide. I also just finished working on "Candles & Carols", a live-to-tape multi-camera Christmas music TV program. I used my SOC credit for the first time on that production! www.candlesandcarols.com and www.rippleofhopemovie.com.
