Young and new to the scene, Mark Kantzler works primarily with student filmmakers aiding in bringing their stories to life. His experience is mainly that of being on crew and in pre- and post-production. He has been involved in several short films from "Adamine" to "Scriptwriting 101."
Mark is building experience now on small sets as he finishes school at Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ with a degree in Visual and Sound Media.
Mark hails from Clearwater, FL before moving to new jersey to be a full-time student-athlete. He was a collegiate swimmer. Sport has been a major part of Mark's life and part of the reason he ended up in film!
He looks forward to being a part of or creating more short films.
Everyone needs comic relief in their life! This story was curated and shot by a peer. I was lucky enough to be a part of the process and then have the chance to edit and make my own version of this film. Based on her grandma, the story takes off in a sort of hide and seek with our stoner granny!
We all know how much nursing homes are despised but this old lady turns her discontent into action. Not only does she find her way on an expedition of chasing long ago memories but leaves a path of destruction in her wake. She just wants some peace and to get high!
This feel-good story touches on an old person being a human and wanting to feel like it. However, her journey to finding some peace is a comedy unlike others.
