TG Geeks Webcast Episode 373
The Two Gay Geeks have a chat with Mark Bessenger, writer/ Director of such films as Last Straight Man, Bite Marks, and Ninja Zombie. Mark has a new project, Gayliens for HereTV that we chat about. We also chat a little about how he got into filmmaking and a little Doctor Who thrown in for fun. Have a listen and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
About Mark Bessenger
Movies have always been a strong influence in Mark Bessenger’s life, from the magical moment when his parents first took him to the drive-in theater, to the influential day when he discovered his mother’s 8mm movie camera and realized that he could make his own films. Shooting his friends and relatives in the back yard in short silent home movies led to Mark getting a degree in Creative Writing at Indiana University before attending Columbia College Chicago’s film school.
Mark’s movies were often inspired by his love of horror, comedy and exploitation films, and his sexual orientation more often than not added a gay slant. Mark lives in Los Angeles with his husband of fifteen years where he runs a video production company and has previously directed two features, both unreleased (so far). Bite Marks wass his first directorial effort.
