Bettina Marks

Writer / Director / Producer

She has worked in a variety of capacities in film production but has focused most of her energy on her own film work. Her films and film installations have been shown in New York, California, Montreal and Berlin. Her first two shorts, Still Life and Dialogue premiered in the Berlin International Film Festival. Dialogue was included in the Montreal Festival of Films and Videos by Women and was screened at the Knitting Factory in New York. It was acquired and aired on A&E for a period of one year. Still Life was screened at a Tompkins Square Park Festival in New York and received superlative reviews from Karen Cooper of The Film Forum and Amy Taubin, former film critic of the Village Voice. Sync was a finalist for consideration for production funds from the American Film Institute’s development grant for dramatic film and along with In the Wake of Illusion are two features in development. The Scream, a new psychological thriller/drama has recently been completed.
