A native of San Francisco, Marcus tinkered with cameras at a very early age. He later attended the Academy of Art University where he studied cinematography. After completing school he moved to Los Angeles and built his career as a shooter of both live action and still photography. 

In 2011 he joined forces with creative agency Goodby, Silverstein, & Partners to direct content for clients Chevrolet, Motorola, Adobe, Google, and Specialized Bikes. 

Following his strong passion for visual storytelling, he turned to full-time directing in 2014 and went on to shoot campaigns for Gatorade, Samsung, Toyota, and Porsche. His last short film Halloween Meets Gasoline was staff picked by Vimeo and screened at SXSW.

Marcus is currently in production on a feature length documentary Beyond The Fields, following child boxers in rural Thailand.

When he's not working, he’s usually roaming LA neighborhoods shooting portraits of strangers.
