After experiencing his then teen daughter’s struggle from addiction to sobriety, Mark wrote and is now prepping to direct a powerful indie drama called Keep Coming Back. It will be the first addiction related narrative feature film whose theme focuses on the family: when parents look at their own behavior and change, that can often open a space to lead to recovery for their loved one.
