Your Bio

Mark Forman
President, Mark Forman Productions Corporation
New York, NY

Graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA and MFA in Film, 1984-1986 Mark won an award for cinematography for the student film "Party Games". In 1988 Produced "Bicycles on Snow", which aired on the Discovery Channel. That film won an award for best film at the Interbike Film Festival in 1994. In 1991 he developed and patented the Forman Camera Bicycle a device for action cinematography. Forrest Whitaker used the bikes to open his HBO film, Strapped (1993) and Sony/Interfilm’s, Ride for Your Life (1993) with Adam West. In 1996 Forman did a ride simulator film for Coca Cola’s Olympic City in Atlanta. Mark began to research 16:9 widescreen HD cinema in 1998. At that time purchased the first privately owed 16:9 DVCAM from Sony. With that camera he photographed a DVCAM demo that Sony used at NAB in 1999 and also shot a project for the National Science Foundation. In 1999 Mark realized that Video really had the potential to become Cinema especially with the introduction of HD. He then decided to do something many cinematographers dream of. "I would build a screening facility out of the need to see these images in the best possible viewing conditions" After dealing with surly contractors and many construction delays Mark Forman opened the Forman HD screening room in 2000. Since that time the room has screened for cinematographers including Allen Daviau ASC, Ellen Kuras ASC, Sean Fairburn SOC and Madstone Films, the director Robert Altman, as well as many others. Mark Forman also has done aerial cinematography for Honor Squadrons International in 2001 (with Sony’s Jeff Cree for NAB) and is still involved with a documentary in progress on the World War 2 Group the Air Apaches. He is also the founder of the HDTV Production Forum on Yahoo and is an accomplished still photographer with publication of his images in Digital Cinema Magazine Millimeter magazine, American Cinematographer, The Seashore trolley Museum, The Yankee Air Museum, and other publications and web sites.
I am currently In the process of working on a book featuring the recent photographs showing the best images from my portfolio.
I have photographed a number of celebrates and political leaders including Allen Daviau, Robert Altman, James Cameron, Faye Dunaway, Senators Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, NYC Mayor Bloomberg and NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn and others.
