Mark Baranowski

Mark Baranowski was born on Apr 28, 1974 in USA. Mark Baranowski's big-screen debut came with Despair directed by Mark Baranowski in 2001.

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Mark Baranowski spent most of his young life with his grandparents (due to his parents' divorce when he was still a toddler, and a poor relationship with both, thereafter). Mark's first creative interest was drawing, then music. He began writing songs (rap, mostly) and poetry as he entered high school, and released a handful of works during the 1990s. He and a close friend established Nickel City Records in 1997, in honor of their hometown, Buffalo (the 'nickel city'). Mark began writing screenplays in late 1999, and self-published both a novella and a collection of poetry in early 2001. He still continues to make music, but does so more as a hobby, now. His current focuses are sketching charcoal portraits and writing/directing.
