At the age of 13, Marcus made his first Stop-Motion, and ever since then, his passion for filmmaking ignited. Although he didn't have a cinema camera, he would use his family’s webcam and use his LEGO bricks to make random short videos. After high school, he studied at his local community college, transferred to George Mason University, majored in Film Studies, and minored in Animation. During his time at George Mason University, he edited multiple narrative films that brought awareness to grief and dementia.
