“From the minute I heard his voice on the phone, I was convinced Mark Oliverius was the one to handle my son’s EPK. After searching long and hard online for a viable videographer, something kept bringing me back to Mark. Not only is Mark an incredible artist, he also a genuine human being. Selfless with his time and skill he did everything possible to ensure my son had everything needed for success, and that our overall experience was comfortable. I definitely recommend Mark and will be working closely with him in the future ourselves.”
