Mark Naji is an award winning screenwriter. His short screenplay Franko won the grand prize at the Indie S.F.M.A Festival in Long Beach, CA. Naji wrote the script for the sole purpose of giving himself a leading role after realizing that walking up and down Hollywood blvd. in the hopes of getting discovered was far-fetched. The script was produced with the help of Jean Moriarty, a close and dear friend of his. Naji gave new meaning to the words triple threat, sing, dance and act, in his case it was write, direct and act. His love for the arts and media started at a very young age, so it's no surprise he has made his way to California to live out this lifelong passion for performing as an actor in one of the most influential cities in the world, Hollywood; the land of broken dreams. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Zeina Zeitouni
