Mark Smith

Producer

Mark Smith was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. He began working as production coordinator for the IMAX Sandde (TM) Animation Studio in Montreal. The studio collaborated in the creation of the unique IMAX (R) feature, Cyberworld 3D. It was on Cyberworld that Mark first met Steve Hoban, who recruited him as head of production at Copperheart Entertainment, in Toronto. Since making the move from Montreal, Mark Smith has been involved in several feature film projects, including the Vincenzo Natali directed films Nothing and Splice, two sequels to the cult horror film Ginger Snaps on which he acted as associate producer. The Oscar (R) winning animated short Ryan directed by Chris Landreth represents the auspicious debut of Mark Smith as a producer. His recent producing credits include the animated shorts The Spine and Subconscious Password, the feature thriller 388 Arletta Ave. Mark served as executive producer on Haunter, the Vincenzo Natali directed reverse ghost story feature starring Abigail Breslin, The David Hayter action thriller Wolves and the scifi horror feature Debug from writer/director David Hewlett. His most recent production on which he served as producer along side Steven Hoban is the Christmas themed horror anthology feature A Christmas Horror Story.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
