Mark Pavia :

Mark Pavia made his first short film when he was 8. A few years later he gets some financial help allowing him to have cinema studies in Columbia College of Chicago. He will meet Jack O'Donnel there, his co-script writter with whom he has been working for more than ten years. Together they wrote "Unexcused absence" a funny horror short film, and "Drag" of which Stephen King will say this is the best horror short film, he has ever seen in 30 year. On this film's basis, the novelist proposed Mark Pairo to adapt one of his novels for the cinema. "The Night Flier" is his first long film.
