Mark will make you laugh and think and then think and laugh. As Mark continues to reveal untapped portions of himself, he looks forward to sharing his journey of expansion, growth and evolution.
What he does?
Mark Anthony is a storyteller, dreamer and artist. Mark imagines and creates stories through still and moving imagery that plays with surrealism and the idiosyncrasies of our everyday existence.
