Mark Freiburger graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts in 2005, and has been a busy man since then. In the summer of 2007, he finished a four-year journey to create and direct his first feature length film Dog Days of Summer, just released on DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Fellow students at the film school helped rewrite the script, which was filmed using mostly teenagers and college students, which presented a unique set of challenges.

I caught up with Mark as he was headed into Robert’s office to work on his latest project.
