Mark (M. K.) Ching graduated from the Syracuse University film program some time ago. My senior thesis won something from AMPAS (not the Student Oscar).

Then I worked with David Williams on Thirteen, a great feature crewed almost exclusively by Williams (directing and shooting) and me (recording sound and operating boom). I also had a small role in it. Thirteen won a lot of awards.

My feature film, Beyond Expectations, didn’t win as many. Maybe two.

I worked as a producer and editor in Los Angeles, then in Virginia. I edited a PBS doc about Merrill-Lynch. Then directed a movie about George Marshall. Then co-wrote one about bees dying. I made a short movie called Election Day which for some reason gets a lot of views in November. That’s where I met Ami, who directed Lucky Tonight from a script we wrote together. I shot it. First time I’ve done that. I think we did okay. Lucky Tonight was an official selection at the Culver City Film Festival, Cine Paris Film Festival, and the Richmond International Film Festival. It also screened at Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre at the Golden State Film Festival.

Like everyone and his brother, I wrote some scripts. Some are doing well. I’ll update y’all when there’s news.
