Mark Woytowich employs the art and technology of video to communicate a broad range of themes. Through in-depth interviews, music, humor, and the juxtaposition of unexpected and dramatic elements, Woytowich brings to life the human dimensions of hope, vision and achievement. Specializing in short docu-dramas that capture the essence of organizational transformation and goals, his work enables audiences to better understand and rally behind the subjects of his videos--individuals, groups or entire communities meeting the challenge of change.
