Marc is an indie guerilla filmmaker based in Los Angeles. His production company, Crunch Entertainment (CrunchEntertainment.com), produced three short films to attract financing and talent for their feature film projects. One short went on to garner multiple festival kudos. He and partner/writer/director Veronica DiPippo recently completed the ‘epic’ short “Dandelion Dharma” (DandelionDharma.com), which is now hitting the festival circuit. Marc and Veronica are currently packaging and raising funds for their upcoming webisodic, “Nanny Boy,” about Dan, a twenty-something slacker who’s just trying to get by in a world where political correctness and intrusive Big Gov have gotten out of hand. It takes place 20 years in the future and Obama is still president. Every well-meaning but dumb utopian idea has been tried and continues to intrude into every facet of his life.
In addition to his work as a film producer, Marc is a veteran international composer and music producer (Aramian.com) who has composed hundreds of scores for film, TV, records, video games, and commercials.
Marc is a member of the TV Academy (Emmys), the British Academy of Film & Television Arts (BAFTA), the European Film Academy, and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammys).

The Hollywood business model may seem like it’s a dinosaur, now that the barriers to distribution have vanished. But Hollywood doesn’t just create and distribute content, it also funds it through a variety of investment sources. (more…)
