Hi, I'm Mark. Thanks for tuning in! 

Two years after his daughter is killed in a school shooting, a grieving father finds himself face to face with the shooter's mother. That is the premise for this short film.  No Guns Allowed isn’t about violence.
It’s about the lives that get stuck in the pain, the blame, the silence, and the forgiveness. In 2023 alone, there were over 650 mass shootings in the U.S. That’s nearly two every day. And yet, we barely seem to remember them. The media covers them like sports events, then on to the next… But what happens to the ones who can’t just “move on”? That’s the story I want to tell. After months of development, I finally have a script that’s my best writing yet, a powerful lead actor, and a scheduled shoot.

This is where I need your help to bring my vision to life.

Filmmaking is expensive — especially in Los Angeles — so my team and I have set up a page accepting donations. Every cent raised will go toward equipment, insurance, permits, transportation, locations, and a whole lot more. 

If you donate, you’ll get exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content and a thank-you credit in the final film.

This story matters.
Please be part of this journey. This literally cannot happen without you support!

A little bit about me!

I'm a passionate filmmaker currently completing his Master’s in Film and Media Production with a focus on directing at the New York Film Academy Los Angeles. Originally raised in Europe, I moved to LA to give it a go! My dreams are to make documentary and feature films capable of inspiring and changing the way people view the world and each other.
