Get educated in the ULTIMATE form of art! Film is the only thing that literally combines EVERY form of ART! If you interested in even one single category, then you should engage in EVERY workshop available. It is always better to be knowledgable in ALL areas, in order to prevail in the area that you are focused.

Mark has worked with many Greats of film, including John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman and many, many more!

Our mission is to awaken the artists and creative souls who have put their dreams they had of being involved in the film industry on the back burner because of the lack of the film industry presence on the Gulf Coast. Now that the industry presence is here and going to be moving in for the long haul; it is our duty to ensure that our wonderfully talented LOCALS are the primary candidates for hire!
Equally as important as the above mission, is the mission to encourage the Gulf Coast community to engage in the arts and the magnificent facility that the visionary, Jeremiah "Jerry" O'Keefe had and also collaborated with an architectural visionary, Frank Gehry to design the visually stunning masterpiece that is so unique to the Coast; and yet at the same time, a match made in heaven. The presence of the museum is such a special one, that it is of utmost importance to us to drawl Gulf Coast residence into the activities as well as the amazing exhibitions, all being held at THE OHR O'KEEFE MUSEUM
