Biography

Mark is an independent filmmaker based in the North-West of England. Over the course of his career he has created fiction films, factual films, music videos, video essays, actor showreels and training videos. He is a filmmaker who is interested in creating work that is highly personal and often finds himself attracted to stories that contain themes of love, longing, isolation, loneliness, heartbreak, regret and rebirth. In 2021, he released his first feature film, 'X’, which focused on heartbreak during the aftermath of an abusive relationship. It is available to rent via Amazon Prime (UK & US) and Vimeo On Demand (worldwide). UK Film Review of 'X': "Duggan delivers a powerful film which communicates the sharp edges of relationships which photoshopped pictures on Tinder can’t vocalise...an incredibly nuanced piece of work. If X does indeed mark the spot, dig here." His second feature, 'Blurred Lines', was released in 2025. The film is equally personal, yet the details are slightly more specific, as the story highlights the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking and the difficulties of navigating the director - actor partnership. Mark is currently in post-production for his third independent feature, 'Notion’.
