TESTIMONIALS FROM CAST AND CREW
“It was a true pleasure to work with Marco on “WAZ”. The shoot was very tough, but not only was he in full control of the set and managed to keep us in pace with a very tight schedule, but he also brilliantly contributed to create a good atmosphere on set and we all worked hard but with a smile on our faces. I hope to soon work with him again”.
STELLAN SKARSGARD – ACTOR (“Mamma Mia!”)
“Every DOP needs a perfect professional understanding with the 1stAD on the set to work with serenity, and I found it with Marco on “The Last Drop”.
MAXIME ALEXANDRE – CINEMATOGRAPHER (”The Hills Have Eyes”)
“Marco did an amazing job on Highlander V”
ROCKY TAYLOR – STUNT COORDINATOR (Indiana Jones Trilogy)
“I consider Marco to be amongst the finest 1st Assistant Directors I have worked with. This has been a troubled project but Marco has made it happen with his typical boundless enthusiasm and resourcefulness. He is utterly collaborative. he understands the problems and requirements of all departments, striking a balance between consulting colleagues and yet knowing himself what must be done to drive the movie forward. I have nothing but the greatest respect for Marco both as a 1stAD and as a friend and I look forward to working with him again soon”.
DEAN CLEGG – DESIGN (“Quantum of Solace”)
“It was a pleasure working with Marco. He combines complete love of what he does with abject professionalism and a sense of fun. He is one of the few First Assistants I have worked with who see’s film making as a collaborative process and will consult you on every move he makes. I only wish he could draw, I would have him in my Art Department whenever he was available”.
TOM BROWN – DESIGN (”Saving Private Ryan”)
“Marco got us through a very tight, complicated schedule with huge amounts of energy, first rate organisational skills & a good heart. He’s a fab 1stAD who loves his job, I’d definitely work with him again”.
PENNY WOOLCOCK – DIRECTOR (”1 Day”, “Exodus”)
“Saftey first, very professional, runs a good floor”
DAVE EVANS – ARMOURER (“Casino Royale”)
“…He’s a key member of my team on any picture”.
COLIN TEAGUE -DIRECTOR (”The Last Drop”)
