Mark Nickelsburg’s films have been on HBO, Comedy Central, Canal+, streaming services worldwide, and top festivals like Just for Laughs. His commercials have won Clios and played the Super Bowl.
His instincts began as an editor, cutting national campaigns at an early age. The first film he wrote and directed, 'Expiration,' was featured at SXSW.
His second short film, 'Harry Grows Up,' won over twenty-five awards and was distributed in over a dozen languages.
In commercials, Mark has worked with talent like Samuel L Jackson, Kevin Hart, Peyton Manning, Snoop Dogg, Bobby Moynihan, and others. He's equally comfortable directing A-list stars, seasoned actors, and helping first-time talent find truth in their performances.
Based in New York, Mark's work has been featured in Variety, the New York Times, Adweek, Time, Fortune, AdAge, Rolling Stone, and more.
Mark’s working style is to be relentless in making every project its very best while cultivating a collaborative, playful, and supportive environment on set.
