Testimonials

Mark has been pivotal to preparing, coordinating, translating, and navigating us to meetings with producers in Seoul since 2018. He knows the industry players in commercials, features, TV, and streamers, and how to secure meetings criss-crossing town with precision. His local industry insights have improved our understanding of the South Korean media industry and positioned us to generate new business. We’re looking forward to our next visit.

Working with Mark as our producer for two 45-minute documentaries on South Korea for Arte in 2023 was a delight. He was reliable, highly competent in terms of content, team-oriented, highly organized, cost-conscious, and always in a good mood. It couldn't have gone any better. We could never have managed four weeks of continuous filming across the entire country without him. I found his friendly and empathetic approach to the protagonists particularly remarkable.
Nicola Graef
CEO and Director, Graef Screen Productions

I was looking for somebody who knew the Korean film industry well. I got to know Mark, who turned out to be a perfect match: within only 3 days, he perfectly managed to squeeze in as many meetings with relevant players in the industry as the logistics of such a big city would allow. I can't wait to work with him again.
Einar Tómasson
Film Commissioner, Film in Iceland

Thanks to Mark, we were able to finish the shoot in Ireland for our JTBC drama Reflection of You safely and without much difficulty, despite the extremely challenging circumstances for overseas filming due to COVID in 2021.
Na-Hyun CHO
Executive Producer, Celltrion Entertainment

An extra warm-hearted thank you for all the work Mark has done for Kamikaze since I first reached out in 2019. If we hadn't had such precise, thorough, and dedicated help from his side, I am sure we would have been very frustrated in this whole COVID situation with all the uncertainty and changed plans. We have always felt very safe and confident with Mark as our contact in Seoul: every time we ask a question, a well-thought-out and well-researched answer came back. I want to personally thank him for accepting the challenge of being in front of the Korean shoot of Kamikaze – such a well-organised and ambitious job, and the result was just perfect. If we ever need to film in South Korea again, we promise that we will be in touch.
