Mark "Shoehead" Edrys’s Summary

I've been involved with the film/TV industry since 1991, in various capacities. I started as an actor, and began writing scripts. Upon my move to Los Angeles, I strategically decided to work on film crews and actually learn how to produce a film project. I'm planning to start a production company in 2008.
