Marc was born in Toronto to South African parents. One of his earliest memories involves being banished from the living room, as his older cousins watched episodes of "TJ Hooker"…his parents deeming it 'too violent'. Luckily, in the basement, he discovered Terry Gilliam's "Time Bandits" on TV. He watched it on repeat until he returned to South Africa at age 7.
Fresh out of film school he shot a commercial for a church, which became a Cannes finalist and landed him on the 'Saatchi and Saatchi New Director's Showcase'.
Recent work highlights his vision of bold cinematic storytelling infused with a subtle and subversive sense of humor. In particular, the film he wrote and directed for sneaker boutique, Shelflife, showcasing the 'Stüssy x Nike' collab is the one that really got tongues wagging. The stylish, hypnotically amusing film scooped accolades at all major awards shows (Clios, 1.4, Ciclope, D&AD, One Show, Kinsale and SHOTS EMEA).
His ongoing relationship with his beloved Arsenal Football Club has yielded four wonderful films that have made the club the trailblazer in global football advertising. Wins at D&AD, 1.4, Golds at the British Arrows and Creative Circle have kept the silverware flowing.
