Mark Waters was born in Cleveland, Ohio on June 30, 1964, to a middle-class family. When Mark was still a schoolboy, his parents separated. After graduation, he decided to enter the University of Pennsylvania, having previously completed preparatory courses. At the same time, Mark became interested in avant-garde theater.
In 1968, the future director and producer graduated and moved to San Francisco, where he began playing on the stage of one of the local theaters.
After some time, Mark left acting and began directing closely. At first, he got light, nothing outstanding productions, and then low-budget films.
A little later he joined one of the directorial programs at the American Institute of Cinematography. Scott Silver and Todd Field practiced with him.
In 1994, Mark received a master’s degree, and two years later he began shooting the picture.
"The house where they say yes" It's based on Wendy McLeod. The writer was initially not happy that her work would be turned into a movie, since at that time the film market was filled with low-grade productions. After Walters allowed her to read the final script, Wendy agreed and co-produced the film with young Mark. The main focus of the film is on the image of the temperamental daughter of their conflict family, who dreamed of carrying out the assassination of Kennedy.
One of the major film companies paid a rather impressive amount of money for the right to distribute the film. Major cities of America took the picture released on the screens normally, but the company could not cover its costs.
In 2001, Mark began filming the comedy Upside Down, starring Freddie Prince and Monica Potter. After work on the film began, the producer and director had a lot of disagreements. For a long time they could not decide what the film should turn out to be.
Among the works of Mark are such paintings as “Freaky Friday”, “The Chronicles of Spiderwick”, “Mean Girls”.
