Writer, Director, Multidisciplinary Artist, Environmentalist, Indigenous Rights Advocate

As a graduate of Hunter College in NYC, having majored in Philosophy and minored in Multidisciplinary Arts, I had the personal pleasure of witnessing an expansive “Golden Age” of multicultural cross-disciplinary pioneering in the arts in the early 2000s. The opportunity to live, work, play and befriend so many incredible multi-disciplinary NYC artists, bursts creative heart and imagination wide open. I witnessed first-hand “eureka” breakthroughs with my artist friends, where creativity was exploding in all areas: drawing, music, poetry, fiction writing, painting, sculpture, filmmaking, theatre, documentary filmmaking, screenplay writing, photography, performance art, and dance, creating new unique forms. All these new forms of cross-bred fusions of art, during a PostModern Era where “anything goes,” gave freedom, inspired and shaped my creative soul. As an advocate for environmental protection, climate change activism, human rights, human evolution, animal rights, gender equality, indigenous justice, ethical diplomacy, and fulfilling the SDGs by 2040, I hope to make impactful contributions in these areas through film and other art forms. I also hope to more fully exploring issues and stories pertaining to identity, hereditary lineage, family, and collective indigenous cultural histories as impacts over time... As a Chinese-Phillipino-American writer and filmmaker I hope to bring greater voice and authentic significant representation to those who are not seen or heard in these cultures and communities.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Creator: Stephanie Mark
A true story about my cousin, Karen Jung, who grew up in our conservative Chinese American family while working for Martin Scorsese as his personal chef in the 1990s. She was an old school hippy-from-the-80s-turned-creative-connoisseur-cook. It’s 1997. She unexpectedly joins our family for our annual Chinese New Years Dim Sum dinner celebration at the Golden Unicorn Restaurant in Chinatown NYC. She comes to tell us about her recent experiences shooting “Kundun,” about the life of the Dalai Lama with Marty; her new life plans after an enlightenment experience in the desert; and why she’s quitting her job.

Creator: Stephanie Mark
A female director and filmmaker, Inanna, who also is a former Harvard psychologist, holistic healer, shaman, disenchanted relationship counselor and open relationship artist, decides to create her own film studio in the mountains of California and hire the world’s leading male actors to re-write famous films they acted in to consecrate endings that only explore “The Power of Love,” not hate or any other ending. As Inanna struggles to raise funds and find a property to explore the potential of her “Power of Love Project,” she gets the bright idea to enter her documentary short about “Shamanism and the Power of Love” into the Sundance Institute Film Festival where her aim is to seeks out Robert Redford to share her “Power of Love” Project and studio idea.
