MARK YOSHIMOTO NEMCOFF's bio from
http://artofsurfacing.com/
Quote:
...was born in Philadelphia and claims to have become a cynic after finding out the dish ran away with the spoon. In his teens he harbored dreams of becoming a rock and roll guitar god and later went on to graduate from Boston's famed Berklee College of Music. After spending some time in South Florida, Mark moved back to Philly and went on to work in the studio with Major Label Grammy and Platinum recording acts like Boyz To Men and Taj Mahal before hanging his own shingle as a composer for TV, Film and Video Games. Within a short period of time he contributed music for the 1994 Winter Olympics on CBS and had written themes for several national network shows. Working as a gun for hire, Mark's career took him to New York, Chicago and later to Los Angeles. Once in L.A., fate would take another turn. After a personal family tragedy caused Mark to revaluate his life, he decided to begin creative writing again, something he hadn't taken seriously since before he picked up a guitar. A few well-honed spec scripts later and Mark was invited to be a member of the elite Warner Bros. Drama Writer's Workshop in Burbank. What would follow would be a number of writing assignments for film and television and suddenly Mark's career as a screenwriter was born.
Currently, Mark has a several projects in development including a pair of action films with producer Phillip Rhee (Best of the Best) that he's hoping will go into production soon so that everyone he knows will "stop friggin' asking about it already."
He is also the writer of "Spacey Movie", the first 3-D animated sci-fi comedy series for mobile phones. The series, now in production will premiere on Sprint and Smart phones, and on the Microsoft Portable Media Center.
The Art of Surfacing is his first novel.
