Mark Wilks
About: 
Bringing a sense of realism to the small or large screen, a high quality script, written with low production costs in mind, delivered ontime, with the minimum of fuss.
No more artistic differences with failed English literature students still getting over their college relationship split ups, recreational drug users, minor / major alcoholics, along with the paranoid depressed schizophrenics who want to take over the show.
No more deep breathing and akward silences, just a well delivered script.......
No that's not a bird to my left, it's my Daughter...................
