Mark Howard (film Maker)

Mark Howard (born 29 September 1966) was born in Radcliffe, near Bury, Lancashire, England.

He first came to attention in the late 1980s as a live concert press photographer, his natural documentary style capturing the great and the good of the indie scene at the time. Classic images of Iggy Pop, Bob Calvert, Johnny Thunders, The Damned, All About Eve and hundreds of other acts helped to cement Howard's reputation.

Since reinventing himself as a commercial film maker in the late 90's, Howard has produced dozens of commercials, pop promo's, advertising films and shorts. His most famous work, the acclaimed cult comedy mockumentary "Roddy Smythe Investigates..."Roddy Smythe (starring Peter Slater, Kiki Kendrick, Peter Kay and Mark Strange) has since spawned two sequels, a radio adaptation and a forthcoming feature film.

Mark Howard continues to fill his time working as a commercial director, photographer and comedy writer. A number of his short films are available on the YouTube and Veoh networks, through the northernmisfits channel.

    Love was before the light began,

    AWP. Anthology of World Poetry, An. Mark Van Doren, ed. (Rev. and enl. Ed., 1936)

    I think it is a wise course for laborers to unite to defend their interests.... I think the employer who declines to deal with organized labor and to recognize it as a proper element in the settlement of wage controversies is behind the times.... Of course, when organized labor permits itself to sympathize with violent methods or undue duress, it is not entitled to our sympathy.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
