On leaving film-school Mark turned his back on writing fictional TV thrillers to instead go travelling and experience real-life adventures. After many years, feeling battered and bruised having bitten off more 'incident' that he could chew, he decided to return to the comfort of a life behind a screen storytelling. '3 Seconds in Bogotá' is his debut true account travel thriller that follows hot on the heels of his multi-award-winning films.
