ABOUT

I’m Mark, a documentary and educational video editor/producer in Greater NYC and the founder of Rising Editor, a blog that helps editors launch and grow their careers.

I've edited and directed one feature documentary, H.O.P.E. Was Here, which streamed on Amazon Prime and Hulu, played at several international film festivals, and continues to screen at universities worldwide. 

My docu-style commercial videos, which include pieces for Renaissance Hotels, BU, Sabra, Ruder Finn, and the New York Rangers, in addition to my work at MSG Networks, have earned a New York Emmy Award and multiple Telly Awards and have allowed me to explore a range of industries, including health & wellness, sports, and entrepreneurship.

E-learning has been my bread and butter for the past 4 years. At Big Think I led the production of hundreds of online leadership and career development lessons taught by the world's top experts, from Navy SEALs to Fortune 500 CEOs to Emmy Award-Winning actors. Our guests included Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Sara Blakely, Bill Nye, Neil de Grasse Tyson, and Bryan Cranston, among many others. My educational work continues at Foundr, where I edit 6+ hour premium video courses taught by entrepreneurs with multimillion dollar businesses.

My core strength is picture editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, though I have a growing proficiency with After Effects.

I studied film and television at Boston University’s College of Communication, where I fell in love with the art of telling stories about real people.

SERVICES

It’s my passion—and privilege—to use the language of moving images and sound to help you communicate your message with clarity, integrity, and purpose.

Here’s how I can help you:

  • Feature documentary films. Take your pile of footage and work closely with you to turn it into a film or other long-form program.

  • Short doc-style videos. Turn observational footage and interviews into a polished, but authentic video for your organization.

  • E-learning videos. Transform your teaching material into video lessons and courses that leave the learner wanting more.

In addition to experience, I bring to each project my dedication as a cinephile, voracious reader, and student of storytelling, all of which inform my understanding of the hard-wired human desire to find meaning in a chaotic world.
