For my film 'In The Fold', I was truly blown away Mark's work on the edit and his rebuilding the soundtrack from scratch. From the pacing to the rhythm and the way he let the moments breathe when they needed to and also tightened them when they didn’t, it was chef's kiss! In the end he managed to turn a couple hours of footage into something truly cohesive and powerful. Now, that’s real magic!!!!!

"Above and beyond", "more than you could ask for". These are the words I use when I talk about working with Mark. He is 100% competent and 100% on time. On top of that, here are three top notch qualities I see in Mark.

Mark will present you exactly what you ask for and then another version you never knew you needed. The second one is that you will never get to see Mark present you a "problem" without at least one solution. Last, and but not least, Mark is a passionate and talented scriptwriter as well, and that gives him the advantage of understanding what scenes are necessary for the character to be seen in order to express/communicate the nature of the story.

I recommend Mark to everyone. I'm sure this is not the last time that we work together.

I first met Mark in Berlin film during November 2023. Within minutes of speaking with him, I was struck by his professionalism, infectious creative energy, and a rare ability to see the emotional core of any story. That initial impression has only grown stronger with every project we’ve tackled together.

His ability to navigate complex narrative layers while keeping the story emotionally honest and visually dynamic has elevated the material far beyond its source material. He is not only a technically brilliant editor but a genuine creative partner who challenges me to make bolder choices to keeps the audience’s experience at the forefront.

In short, Mark possesses that rare combination of skill, intuition, and collaborative spirit that every director dreams of finding in an editor. Any project—be it a short film, feature, commercial, or series—would be extraordinarily lucky to have him on board.

Working with Mark was an absolute pleasure. He brings a calm, professional presence to every project, combined with a genuine passion for his craft. His eye for detail is incredible, and even though his main role was color grading, it was clear he has a deep understanding of the whole film and the implications of every choice he made. His input added real value to the final piece, and I found his suggestions insightful and often thought-provoking.

I’d absolutely work with him again—and next time, I’d involve him even earlier in post-production to benefit from his expertise during the concept stage. Truly a thoughtful problem solver and a creative collaborator I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Mark is an amazing, creative image-maker full stop. What’s better is that he’s a proper pleasure to work with, dedicated, reliable and quick. A real professional and a real gent to boot. Highly recommended.

I worked with Mark for many years in the London Screenwriters’ Workshop, a UK training charity with over 1,000 members where he delivered successful workshops on both script and short films. I've always been impressed by his scripts, which are always economic and punchy, delivering a fast visual narrative with a brevity of dialogue.

Mark is not only a very talented visual narrator, in film and photography, but he listens to clients, and delivers very exact and perfected pieces of work.

Mark is one of those people who seems to be good at most things. Rarely have I worked with someone who has oodles of creativity, a sound strategic and logical brain, with technical skills to boot. As an award-winning photographer, Mark has naturally provided breath-taking photography for my brand but has also designed and built our website, produced, filmed, scripted and directed brand films for us, and has been an invaluable strategic sound-board for our marketing activity. He doesn't seem to sleep, manages to deliver high-quality work on time and on budget. What's more, his creative work is insightful, nuanced and beautifully crafted. I can't recommend Mark enough.

I have worked with Mark on several creative projects so as to refresh and update my website together with the production of a promotional video that highlights the services I offer. With each of the briefs, he has quickly grasped my vision and understood exactly what is required, through detailed research and meticulous planning.

At all times he has put me at ease, with his personable manner and willingness to go that extra mile and beyond. I would highly recommend Mark for his creative services and depth of knowledge.

As the CEO of leading German cigar retailer Noblego, I first had the pleasure of working with Mark on a full-page advertisement for renowned Cigar Journal Magazine. Given that this was our first appearance in print media, we had yet to develop how we should approach their readers, what message to convey and what the potential of our advert could be.

However, by asking all the right questions, Mark quickly developed a vision of how our advertisement could look. Working together with his crew, they diligently planned a shoot, and with his tremendous guidance, it quickly resulted in some astonishing results. Within half a day, not only had we produced the necessary photographs for the ad, but we had also shot a short, brand identity video(which Mark suggested, as the synergies of doing both at the same time seemed to be too good an opportunity to miss).

Meeting for the final review, I was shocked. With only very little input regarding either the advert or video's content, their arrangement and what copy should be used, Mark had created something that far exceeded my expectations. Not only was this a beautiful campaign with beautiful imagery, but also one that was full of well-thought-out details.

Mark’s vast experience in this field, his sense for beauty and detail, together with all the diligent research he did and all the ideas he contributed, leave me no doubt that we'll be happily working with him again in the future.

Mark Esper's team were fantastic. They showed up with a concept and a mastery of process which allowed me to focus on my ideas, needs and performance and also find both my voice and smile whilst in the spotlight. Throughout the shoot, they were professional, focused, creative and so much more. Always supportive and patient, they reassured me and let me be in the moment when I needed to be. For a video to be shot in both in English and in German, this was quite a feat, all to be done in one day.

I was more than satisfied with the experience and when I saw the final videos I was blown away. They were even better than I could have hoped for. Definitely my choice for future video projects, hands down.
