Sam Bryant: Mark Duplass

 
Mark Duplass and his brother Jay recently made a film called the THE PUFFY CHAIR, one of the breakout hits from the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. The film, which also starts Mark, won the Audience Award at SXSW 2005 and was nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards. It was released theatrically by Roadside Attractions and Netflix in 2006 and is now available on DVD and Showtime. Mark and Jay first made a name for themselves with a string of award-winning short films, including THIS IS JOHN and SCRABBLE, which each premiered at Sundance, in 2003 and 2004, respectively. The Duplass Brothers are currently writing and directing films for both Universal and Fox Searchlight and have sold THE TRAIL, a television show co-produced with The Weitz Brothers, to NBC. Their next feature, BAGHEAD, is in post-production.
