Mark Webber

Writer/Director/Producer

When Mark Webber was a teenager in North Philly he dreamed of becoming a "movie star" to get out of the ghetto and get the girls. Before finishing at his performance art high school, he walked into a casting office and declared to the agent that he was "available." It was this determination that got him in the door but it was his talent that found him working with some of the greatest directors of our time.  Early on, Mark shed his initial motivations and found in himself an artistic integrity that drives him to look for great stories and interesting roles.  As an actor, he has appeared in over twenty-five films including “Storytelling” by Todd Solondz, “Broken Flowers” by Jim Jarmusch, “The Hottest State” by Ethan Hawke, “The Laramie Project” by Moises Kaufman, “Dear Wendy” by Thomas Vinterberg, and “Hollywood Ending” by Woody Allen, among others.  He is also an accomplished stage actor, originating the role of Darryl in Neil Labute's “The Distance From Here” and worked opposite William H. Macy and Phillip Baker Hall in Mamet's “American Buffalo”.  Explicit Ills is his first directorial outing and he is currently working on his next screenplay.
