His second feature film ‘MEMBERS CLUB' is due for release in 2024. Marc has been writing and directing comedy for over twelve years after entering the industry as a comedy actor in the mid noughties. In 2016, he won an Empire Award for ‘LEGEND’, a film that he made for £20. In 2017, he made a short comedy horror film called ‘THE FLYTIPPER’ which went on to be a finalist in the ‘Best Comedy’ category at the BAFTA qualifying Carmarthen Bay Film Festival in 2018. The short was later distributed by the legendary New York based schlock horror company Troma.

The film premiered at London Lift Off Film Festival in 2021. Marc has a strong sense of visual comedic style and makes grounded in reality offbeat comedies about working class characters. He utilises his years as a prop maker to incorporate weird props and set pieces into his films, which in turn leads them to having a unique edge.
