Working with Mark has been an amazing experience. His enthusiasm and knowledge of film, light and story building pluses every job, and makes the finished project so much more memorable. Whether he is given an outline, a script or asked to find the story, he is incredible at shaping the narrative. His edits strike the perfect balance between beauty and humanity, while never overlooking the intended purpose of the films. I can't say enough good things about partnering with the Halskis. They're a team as genuine as they are talented.Kristina DayWriter, Creative Director, NORTH
