MARK PALADINI welcomes you! 

As you navigate through this website, you will find my bio, a comprehensive cv, select courses I've taught and my professional credits as a director, producer, casting director and actor.  Additionally, I've listed related university and community service activities and professional links of interest.

In the feature film world, I'm currently co-executive producer (and US casting director) of the indie film If I Were You  written and directed by the wise and talented Joan Carr-Wiggin which premiered January 10, 2012 at the Palm Springs International Film Festival where audiences voted it among the Best of the Fest.  It ranked third among eighty films competing for audience favorite in the Washington D.C. Filmfest on April 20-21, 2012.  Marcia Gay Harden stars with Spanish star Leonor Watling and Aidan Quinn.   Screenwriter Brad Schreiber of the Huffington Post called the film,  "...delightful,"  Marcia Gay Harden "...one of our most gifted dramatic actresses, but also a brilliant comedian," and Leonor Watling, "...a perfect foil for Harden."  Janice Kleinschmidt wrote:  "If I were you, I'd see this film,"   and Variety noted, "Harden shines...while [Aidan] Quinn comes off nicely in one of his lighter, more likeable recent turns."  This charming female buddy-pic opens in the UK June 8, 2012 and the USA release TBA.  See the trailer!

Recent performance work may be found on the mockumentary sites:  www.votegarner.com & www.garnerstinks.com, nominated for Best Web Series in the Producers Guild of America's Producers Challenge Award.   They are two wonderfully detailed sites created by Robert Watzke, a brilliant political satirist/writer/director/ editor/actor/multi-hyphenate/etc.  On both sites, I provide "The Voice of Verne" for KXJJ Talk Radio.  The LATimes.com gave it a very favorable mention.

Most recently I directed John Patrick Shanley's Doubt at Regent University.  See production photos from plays I've directed at Regent University.
