MARK OXMAN

MARK OXMAN's (Writer/Director/"Dunbar") last short film was “Sing Along,” which starred Tony winner Alice Ripley (“Next to Normal”), three-time Emmy winner Uzo Aduba (TV’s “Orange is the New Black”), Tony nominee Patrick Page (“Hadestown”), Heidi Blickenstaff (Disney Channel’s “Freaky Friday”), and Myles Erlick who is a Jet in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming “West Side Story."  The short was Academy Award-eligible and ended up being purchased by ShortsTV for its channel on DIRECTV and across Europe.  Oxman is now in development on several projects simultaneously.  Producer Declan Baldwin, who recently executive produced Academy Award winners “Still Alice” and “Manchester by the Sea,” has helped develop a feature film titled “Virtual Strangers” which Mark wrote and is attached to direct.  He has also been developing a fantasy/sci-fi TV series titled “The Darwin Theory” for Howie Mandel’s Alevy Pictures and was hired by producer Harvey Kivel to write a biopic about 1920s Broadway star Libby Holman, a vehicle designed for Lady Gaga.  Broadway producer Benjamin Carl Feldman hired Oxman to adapt a stageplay from a pre-existing film, with which he joined the Dramatists Guild.  His second venture into stage writing, “The Things You Left Behind,” is slated for a staged reading post-COVID.
