Director's Bio:

Mark Cheng is a software developer for MTV Networks' Nickelodeon brand. When he's not cranking code, he's writing and shooting films. A graduate of Cornell University's class of 1997 film/theater program, Mark happily transitioned his film making from splicing 16mm reversal on flatbed Steinbecks to cutting at the speed of thought on modded water-cooled dual cores. After college, Mark worked countless hours in senseless production assistance jobs on commercials for Chef Boy-R-Dee ravioli before swearing off a career in film permanently and pursuing the stable career of a web designer. Seven years later, Mark found himself in his final year of business school working as a consultant in the financial industry. The long-buried desire to make films and tell stories came back with ferocity. Deployment Strategy is a result of that ferocity and its production has been meticulously blogged on the Mark's site, www.iMustMakeThisFilm.com The site's name serves a mantra and a reminder to its owner and all who visit the site that passionate pursuits can yield passionate results.
