Mark Hedges is from Santa Cruz, California, and studied philosophy at UC San Diego, a program heavy on science, logic, literature and history. He now lives in the war zone formerly known as Hollywood, where he studies for an MFA in film producing from Mount Saint Mary's University Los Angeles. Mark won several film festival awards and final placements for feature screenplays. One was a permitted adaptation of David Brin's sci-fi novel Glory Season. Another is Empire of Blood, which is being adapted to a graphic novel. Mark's writing examines characters who must find their self-identity, before they can break free from others' expectations to achieve their outward goals. This is especially relevant when portraying children in difficult situations, who must grow up too early in order to survive. Mark seeks to elevate people, to raise us up beyond the limits of our thinking, and to inspire us to educate ourselves. https://weirdvibe.media
