| Mark is best known for Berkeley in the Sixties, which won top honors and has become a well-loved classic, one of the defining documentaries about the protest movements that shook America during the 1960s. He produced, directed and wrote the film, led a huge archival research effort as well as a successful distribution campaign. In the twenty years since that film he has worked in non-fiction television, made films for hire, taught at UC Santa Cruz, done various freelance production work and developed A Fierce Green Fire. The film has been in production since 2008. Kitchell’s career began in Hollywood with Grand Theft Auto and Malibu Beach. He went to NYU film school, where he made The Godfather Comes to Sixth St., a cinema verite look at his neighborhood caught up in filming The Godfather II – another (student) Academy Award nominee. |
