Mark Carpenter is a screenwriter who brings a unique fusion of executive discipline, academic rigor, and creative intuition to his storytelling. With over two decades of experience as a healthcare CIO and six years as a professor at Stanislaus State University, Mark understands that successful narratives—much like successful infrastructures—require robust architecture and human insight. His writing spans genres but is unified by a focus on human connection, historical texture, and the power of memory. His portfolio includes 1979, an atmospheric coming-of-age drama steeped in the car culture of the Central Valley; December 8th, a poignant WWII drama following Japanese Americans from internment camps to the battlefields of Italy; and Forever, which explores the enduring nature of love. Whether dissecting the randomness of life in The Randomness of Clouds or building tension in The Beach House, Mark’s work is defined by authentic dialogue and a grounded approach to emotional beats. Based in California, he applies the same strategic clarity to his screenplays that he brings to the boardroom and the lecture hall.
