Patty & Mark

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

"Me" is really "Us," -- Mark and Patty. We have been going strong as soulmates since the day we met - Valentine's Day of 1982. Mark started our video production company in 1981, so Patty jumped aboard in '82 and we have been living and working "happily ever after." Yes, it is possible to walk hand-in-hand into the sunset every single day! Anyone can who follows their dream!What motivates us is our work. No two gigs are ever the same. One day we may be videotaping the beginnings of a landfill, and the next day interviewing Bo Derek. Or Hilary Swank. Or Kirsten Dunst. Or Jerry Lewis. Check out our photo gallery to explore further celebrity contact.Most people are amazed when they hear that we have been together for over 25 years. And THEN when they hear that we work, play, live and sleep together (virtually connected at the hip) they simply cannot believe it.But it's true, it's true! As John Lennon once said, "Love is all there is."

My Interests

Video production, stock footage collection, mountain biking, surfing, world travel, social interaction, gardening, hot tub, making our clients happy. We also love practicing philanthropy. Our latest project is "Small Acts of Kindness: A Day in the Life of San Diego Homeless."

I'd like to meet:

We have been fortunate to have met some very interesting people already: Hazel Henderson, Apollo Anton Ono, John Howard (who set the world landspeed record on a bicycle), Helen Caldicott, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (when he was the Terminator), Toby Maguire, Robby the Robot, Jason Mraz, Molly Ivins, David "The Water Man" Ross, Sally Kellerman, Barbara Eden, and the list goes on. We anticipate meeting more wonderful people as time marches on.

Music:

Joe Satriani, Ozomatli, Orishas, A Scribe Amidst the Lions, Phil Bailey, Tom Yarborough, The Beatles, George Harrison, Bob Marley & the Wailers, and just checkout everybody in our "Friends" list!

Movies:

300, Little Big Man, Cuckoo's Nest, Elizabeth, Power of One, The Punisher (we have credits in the DVD!), Batman Returns, Equilibrium, everything with Jodie Foster, everything with Christian Bale, everything with Chow Yun Fat, and yes, everything with Tom Cruise

Television:

It goes across the board for us. We shoot a lot for television broadcast, and some of our work has appeared on Extra!, Inside Edition, Oprah, Access Hollywood, Discovery Channel, Travel Network, Home & Garden Network, and others. We also like Smallville, Prison Break and Journeyman.

Heroes:

Our parents for literally bearing with us (ha ha). Also Al Gore, Leo DiCaprio for bringing the world's attention to Global Warming; Ani DiFranco and Holly Near among many other musicians for bringing attention to a Woman's Right to Choose, and so many others.
