Mark J Cliff
Screenwriter & Artist
ABOUT ME
Mechanical drafter by day, and screenwriter by night, the silver screen fills my head with brilliant images of epic tales of love and glory. This is a journey that must be shared by others, including my wife Sandi, and my daughters Krista and Alicia.
I am inspired by artistic films such as; Once Upon a Time in the West , The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Laurence of Arabia, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, just to name a few. My gurus are Leone, Lucas, Spielberg, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Miyazaki, and Scott.
"Framing the shot" may be a cliché; however, it is the way I see the world. Finding depth, layers, and focus can sometimes be daunting, but it does help in giving everyday life meaning. The soundtrack playing in my head gets a little monotonous, though.
