Marcos and I have been friends since Fall 1993, when we were both attending the University of Texas and going through the Maverick program (www.texaswranglers.org) together. Despite time and space, we've managed to stay closely connected over the years and I've always been fascinated by the work he does writing and directing movies. I recently had the opportunity to catch up with him when he was on tour (literally, he was walking to dinner with the band when we did this interview) with In The Valley Below, promoting his new movie, "The Pink Chateau". We talked about his journey from Austin to Manhattan to Miami to Hollywood and all the twists and turns along the way, in addition to the power of networking and building effective relationships.
Writer/director Marcos Efron was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and raised in Houston, Texas. Following a short career in finance, Marcos moved to Los Angeles and learned his craft from the ground up, writing and directing commercials, short films, and award-winning music videos. He is a Nicholl Fellowship Quarterfinalist (screenwriting fellowship for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences - aka the Oscars) for LOVE NOTES, a script based on his Sundance short film "Common Practice." Following that, Marcos co-wrote and directed AND SOON THE DARKNESS with Amber Heard and Karl Urban for Studiocanal. Other work includes the rewrite of AMAPOLA for Fox International, the one-hour series BIRMINGHAM for Sony TV, the book-to-series adaptation of IRONFIRE with Jon Cassar (“24”) directing, the adaptation of the young adult novel THE DECLARATION for Laurence Mark Prods/Sony Pictures, and the adaptation of the historical memoirs TRIALS OF THE EARTH for Morgan Freeman and producer Kerry Hamilton. Marcos has just wrapped production on the feature-length music video for In The Valley Below. His next feature is slated to shoot in 2019, with Lynwood Spinks (PASSENGERS) producing. Marcos’s first novel, the young adult adventure BEYOND CITADEL, is available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
