Mark Baranowski
- Producer
- Director
- Composer
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.
