Mark moved from Scarborough to York three years ago to pursue a degree and was shocked to find that not all communities were as hopelessly depressing as the one he’d grown up in. He is a writer, filmmaker and occasional glue sniffer who enjoys collaboration, real conversations and writing about himself in the third person. He can often be found locked in his room with a notebook and piles of comics or coming out of cinemas ranting overtly about the symbolism of Ryan Gosling’s cheekbones.
