Tom Marks(III)

As a native of Atlanta, Tom attributes his love of independent film to local neighborhood theaters owned by George Lefont. The Lefont Theaters (Plaza Theatre, Garden Hills Cinema, Silver Screen, and others) featured what could loosely be described as "art films" which included foreign (subtitled) and independent films. In the mid to late 1980s, living less than a block away from Garden Hills Cinema, Tom would regularly make the short walk from his apartment to grab a slice of Fellini's Pizza and catch a flick.

Tom's acting experience is primarily with small community theater where he has performed along side his daughter, and aspiring actress, Mattie. Tom and his wife Dannell reside in Columbus, GA with daughters Mattie and Pepper.
