Marc Roussel caught the film bug when he was 13 or 14 years old, sitting in a friend’s darkened living room watching “John Carpenter’s The Thing”. By the time the lights came back on he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up - a filmmaker. Not long after, Marc talked his dad into buying a Super 8 camera, projector and splicer, and started making films with his friends.
Marc went on to study film at Humber College in Toronto, and then attended The New York Film Academy’s inaugural first year, where he was the only Canadian amongst an international student body.
Marc has spent the last 10 years working as an assistant editor on such TV series as “Nero Wolfe” and “Playmakers”, several TV movies and the feature films “The Skulls II”, “The Skulls III”, “Where The Truth Lies”, “Full of It” and “Breakfast With Scot”.
Marc has directed, written and edited the short films “Dear Barry” and “Dead Clown” and edited, co-wrote and co-produced “The Hardest Job” with Mark Sanders.
