About
I’m Mark Palansky, a writer, director, and creative director based in Portland, Oregon. For more than a decade, I’ve shaped stories and brand experiences across feature film, television, and global campaigns—leading creative teams from small groups to hundreds and translating big, ambitious concepts into clear, compelling work.
My ideas start from scratch or grow from someone else’s spark, and I carry them through to fully realized visions that connect with audiences and stakeholders alike—whether that means Sundance premieres, Netflix viewership, or Fortune-500 launch moments. I also frequently serve as an outside creative lead to sharpen tone, story, and execution on work already in motion, and I’ve directed and developed licensed collaborations that turn established visual IP into fresh original content.

I'm a writer, director, and creative director who builds worlds people can't look away from. My work spans features, television, brand campaigns, and experiential collaborations, but the throughline is always the same: start with a feeling, build a story around it, and give it visual ambition sharp enough to convince someone to fund it. I've done this at every scale — from a Sundance premiere to a 30-second spot to a founder's brand from scratch — because I don't believe storytelling should stop at format. I bring craft, conviction, and range to every room I'm in, and I'm just as comfortable pitching the idea as I am directing it into existence.
