A multi-disciplinary filmmaker and entrepreneur, Marc studied film theory and practice in Paris and London. He has written, directed, and produced numerous short films and a feature documentary, released theatrically in the UK and showcased at international film festivals. With comprehensive practical experience in various filmmaking disciplines, including directing, editing, cinematography, and sound, Marc has been able to pioneer the innovative CineStrata process. He has expanded his experience beyond the realm of film, working in administration, accounts, sales, and management in industries including space, technology and high-end healthcare equipment. As the founder and CEO of CineStrata, Marc will lead the team, oversee projects, and continue to conduct research on film language and the application of the CineStrata process across different genres.
Linda brings a wealth of experience to the team, through a rare blend of scientific, creative and business skills. She has a PhD in science, a lifelong passion for art and has carved a 25 year professional career in film production, supply chain management and procurement in the healthcare industry. Attracted by CineStrata’s unique blend of film, art and science, she joined to provide support researching the science behind the innovation, validating key concepts and working alongside Marc to develop algorithms and tools to deliver the CineStrata process. Going forward, Linda will spearhead research and development initiatives and will manage relationships with CineStrata’s key industry partners.
Marc and Linda have been working together for over 25 years in film. They form a unique team with complementary skillsets that extend beyond filmmaking and science, into finance, management, marketing and strategy.
