About Marcus

I’ve always been fascinated with images. Whether it was the result of regularly attending movie theatres as a child with my dad, making stop-motion videos with my friend Mark (using his epic mid-nineties Tyco Video Camera), or from flipping the pages of the magazines that littered the shelves of my parent’s house, I’ll never know.

However, I do know the following:

- I graduated from SAIT Polytechnic (Diploma in Film and Video Production).
- I directed four to eight person camera crews for weekly live events and concerts while living in Sydney Australia. (2006-2008).
- I ran my own video production and digital marketing company (2013-2018).
- I taught videographers from all around the world who found my YouTube channel and small Facebook community (2017-2021).
- I finally decided to take the leap into a passion project that I’ve wanted to explore since first seeing a Peter Hurley video back in 2013 (Jan 2025 to present).
