TESTIMONIAL FROM CINEMATOGRAPHER RIC WAITE

“I have had the privilege of working with Mark Grove and Jon Firestone on several occasions. I have always found them thoroughly professional, completely competent and dedicated to their craft. Mark's knowledge and grasp of the film industry is exemplary, his knowledge of the martial arts, stunt coordinating, safety and film making in general is extraordinary. His demeanor while working is beyond pleasant...always a smile, frequently a well timed joke. Great fun...but still getting the job done with alacrity and professionalism. I look forward to our next joint venture with anticipation.”

TESTIMONIAL FROM TALENT AGENT PETER DEANELLO

"I have worked with Mark Grove for over a decade, first in providing on camera talent for his projects. The abundance of expertise, talent and enthusiasm that he approaches every project with never ceases to amaze me. In the independent filmmaking world, many people try to wear multiple hats...Writer, actor, director, producer, stunt coordinator, special effects technician, make up artist...It takes a rare individual to accomplish all that without compromising the quality of his work. Mark is one of those rare talents who is able to successfully juggle the overwhelming number of responsibilities and demanding schedule of an independent filmmaker. Mark is succeeding in a business where so many fail. His vision, as well as his ability to turn that vision into reality, is creative and limitless. I strongly suggest working with Mark in any of his many endeavors."

LIONSGATE RELEASES “SHADOW WALKERS”

Lionsgate Home Entertainment released Mark Steven Grove’s “Shadow Walkers” on DVD on May 22nd 2007. Since then, it has been released around the world including China and Japan.

Shadow Walkers is a highly suspenseful story of a group of lab technicians and military personnel who awaken in a subterranean laboratory with no memory of who they are. They quickly discover that they are sealed in, with only one way to get out alive. They must travel deeper into the underground facility to an escape tunnel that leads to the surface. Hindered by the fact there is only limited electrical power, they struggle through the darkness where they uncover a hive of genetically mutated creatures that stalk them from the shadows. Bred for combat, these monsters are endowed with razor sharp talons and rows of jagged teeth capable of ripping a man apart. While avoiding danger at every turn, they begin to regain their memories, discovering the origin of the deadly creatures and the part they played in their creation.

SENSEI FILM RECEIVES RECOGNITION

 

“THE SENSEI” film, shot in Colorado and Co-Produced by Asgard Entertainment’s Mark Steven Grove has received a great deal of festival recognition and has been praised for it’s thought provoking content.



THE SENSEI takes place during the rise of HIV and the AIDS panic it stirred in communities in the 1980's and early 90's. Set in 1985, in the plains of Colorado, McClain Evans (Mike O’ Laskey, “Three Ninjas at Mega Mountain”) , a young gay teen is constantly the target of hate and bullying in his provincial town.

Returning after a five-year absence is Karen O'Neil (D. Lee Inosanto, “The Prodigy”), a woman haunted by the death of fiancé, pro boxer Mark Corey (Louis Mandylor, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”). On the surface, we believe Karen is there only to reconnect with her family, owners of a successful martial arts business, and active members of their church ministry.

When McClain is hospitalized after a near fatal beating by three local teens, who are then released on bail, Annie (McClain’s outraged mother) asks Karen to secretly teach her son to defend himself.

Unbeknownst to her family, and fearful of small town retaliation, Karen agrees to secretly teach McClain, training him at night to protect them both. Through the martial ways, McClain learns to rise above ignorance and prejudice, and his newfound confidence causes him to intercede when a classmate is being bullied.

After the public confrontation, Karen’s role as his teacher is revealed. This rocks the small, rural community to the core, particularly when the controversy unmasks Karen’s past with Mark Corey.

Reminiscently told in conversation between the young man, McClain and a Minister (Emmy Award Winner, Keith David “Crash”), THE SENSEI is an examination of the prejudices that allow hatred to continue, and the people that find their own humanity in their darkest hour
