About Mark

Mark Lund is an award-winning filmmaker, screenwriter and publisher. He's also a TV personality and actor. In 1993, Lund founded International Figure Skating magazine and built it into the world's largest magazine for the sport and his publishing company Ashton International Media into a $4 million enterprise that included six magazines. In 2002, Lund authored his first book Frozen Assets: The New Order of Figure Skating. Since 1994 Lund has been selected by television and media outlets to analyze the sport of figure skating. His most notable work came during the 2002 Winter Olympics, where he made over 220 appearances on several domestic and international TV networks. His work in the sport of figure skating landed him as one of the judges on FOX's Skating with Celebrities in 2006. After Ashton International Media, Lund founded Scene, a contemporary news magazine that was distributed in nine countries. Leaving Scene in 2006, Lund combined his passion for science fiction and space exploration and wrote the feature-length screenplay, First World. Nominated for three screenplay awards, Lund condensed the story and produced a 25 min. short film version that screened at 20 sci-fi conventions in seven countries and was released on Hulu in 2009. From 2009-10 Lund was the Drama Director for Becker College where he resurrected the school's drama program after a 20-year hiatus. His e-book First World: Covenant, a prequel novella to the screenplay First World, was published in 2011 through The Ashton Times. In January 2012, Lund's short film, Justice Is Mind: Evidence had its world premiere which led to the financing of the feature film version. Justice Is Mind had its world premiere on August 18, 2013 where he served as executive producer and director. In July 2019 Lund wrapped principal photography on First Signal, his second feature film. First Signal, a prequel to First World, had its world premiere on March 26, 2021. As of June 2021, First Signal has been an official selection in twenty-seven festivals winning seventeen.

Raced to the hospital Henri's wife Margaret learns that he has been seeing a neurologist in an attempt to diagnose unexplained headaches since his childhood. With one test remaining, Dr. Pullman convinces Henri to have the new FVMRI procedure-an MRI-like machine that reads long-term memory in video form. When the test reveals that Henri shot and killed two people on his farm, the first Superior Court trial with evidence introduced by the defendant's own memory is soon underway. Although Henri has no recollection of this memory, upon broadcast in court Henri's father Joseph immediately falls ill having witnessed that exact memory.

  • Justice Is Mind: Evidence

    Justice Is Mind: Evidence (2011)
    Film (short) by Mark Lund (Crime, Drama and History) Writer, Producer, Director It is the year 2026 and MRI technology has advanced to a point where imaging of long term memories can be produced in near video quality. When Henri Miller has the new FVMRI scan during a routine medical procedure and it reveals his murdering of two contractors on his property, the legal machinery put in place by him when he signed a medical release sets the stage for the trial of the century as Henri may have to defend himself against the states primary evidence - the memory of a crime he doesn't remember committing. In the chambers of Judge Wagner, Henri's defense counsel pleads passionately to dismiss this landmark memory evidence on the basis of a flawed medical procedure; while the District Attorney extols that Henri signed away his rights to privacy when he released the parties during the initial medical procedure. Citing the continued rights of patient choice, Wagner's summation states that this case may prove that sometimes our memories may no longer be our own. Written by Mark Lund

    First World (2007)
    Film (short) by Adam Starr (Action, Drama and Sci-Fi) Actor, Writer, Producer In the early 1960's NASA discovered a vast and advanced civilization on the Moon with their first space probes. While this civilization was able to shield itself from all Earth-based visual detection devices, President Kennedy's speech from 1961 that declared the intent to "Put a man on the Moon and return him safely to the Earth" was not designed as a space race with the Soviet Union, but to secretly establish contact with this newly discovered civilization. This discovery was classified and false images from the Moon were transmitted during all the Apollo missions. When the Earth mission of this new civilization was discovered, political forces demanded that President Nixon end manned missions to the Moon in 1972. First World commences in the year 2018 when the Chinese government announces it is making its first manned mission to the Moon within 24 hours. What does this civilization represent? Why was it covered up? Who knows about its existence? What is their mission? And what ... Written by Mark Lund
