Writers Of The Storm

Mark Arnoldi was born and raised in Northern Virginia. His first exposure to the entertainment industry was in 4th grade when he attended a school play, and was immediately hooked. The following year he was performing on stage while running for class president.

In middle school he participated in the drama club before joining model U.N. Model U.N. offered him an arena where he was able to practice and hone his acting skills while trying to persuade his peers in debate. He won multiple awards participating in Model U.N. in middle and high school. While attending Northern Virginia Community College, where he earned his Associates Degree in Business, he had an opportunity to take several acting and theater classes adding to his desire to act in film.

Already an avid film fan, Mark decided to try his hand in the film industry in 2007 by hosting Tenbu’s first Akibafest concert. He worked on three subsequent Akibafest concerts with Tenbu, as well as acting in two films and taking on a producer role in a music video.

With a degree from the National Automobile Dealers Association, which provided him the tools to run and manage all aspects of a multi-million dollar business, as well as over 10 years of business experience managing a new and used car sales force, a multi-million dollar inventory, and the handling of marketing and advertising, producing came as second nature to Mark.

Mark met Director W.J. Greffey in 2010 and their mutual passion of the film industry, along with their similar goals, lead to Mark joining Writers of the Storm.
