7. What were some of Marks strengths? Weaknesses?
8. How do/could you relate to what Mark was going through during the film?
A documentary of a independent film maker on a mission to live a "American Dream". Mark was determined to do something with self. Unlike all the other people that work in fields unhappiness. He knew that he would work just as hard. Doing what he wanted, his way! In the three years it took to complete this film. In the making of "Coven". Marks journey faces a financial dilemma. He planned his production poorly and ran into financial set backs. Mark used friends and neighbors to complete this low budget horror film. Along with his personal conflicts of his relationship. He indulged in some alcohol and gambling habits. Which set back the production as well. Which was a good example of what mixing business and pleasure does. Through out the documentary he proves himself to be a inspiring example. He made it obvious that hard work pays off. Mark is a very visionary, dedicated and forceful director. At the same time chaotic, obstructive, and Aggressive. I can relate to his ability to push pass the roadblocks to be successful. The way he might of came off cold almost like he didn't care about others. He really has heart and a lot like myself.
