After listening to Mark's music scores It was apparent that he is not only a wonderful musician, but also a sensational composer. He understands story and enhances what the director is trying to achieve. Mark is a collaborator who brings thoughtfulness and heart to the movie. I would be honored to hire Mark on my next film
