Mark Webber Masterclass

The Place of No Words

Mark Webber is an American director, producer, screenwriter, and actor known for his roles in both commercial films such as  Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and independent projects, such as  Dear Wendy and  Broken Flowers. He grew up in a poor suburb of Philadelphia, where he and his mother were homeless for a long time. The experience of extreme poverty has had an impact on his career as a filmmaker, as he consistently situates himself on the margins of the mainstream. He has directed five full-length films, which are often based on his personal experiences, as well as those of his family and wife, the actress Teresa Palmer. Webber’s films have been presented at many independent film festivals, including SXSW and Sundance.
