Mark Gerard DiSalle

Is an American film director, writer, and producer, born and raised in Seattle, Washington. A lifelong lover of the world of cinema, he has been chasing his dreams of becoming a film director ever since he saw his first movie on the big screen. He immediately grabbed his parent's home video camera and began making short films with his childhood friends. A true anachronist, his life revolves around his love for classic movies and he now has used that opportunity to show that love on screen in his short film: "The Projectionist." He wants to share his passion for film and the old-school craft of film projection. He is a strong believer in the old ways of creating cinema and because of it, he chose to shoot "The Projectionist" on actual celluloid film. He's an admirer of the film look and looking forward to telling visually and emotionally dominant stories capturing the dreams that is cinema.
