Selected Scenes
Feature Film | Starring Cassie Howarth, Shawn Pyfrom, Kevin Fonteyne
Director of Photography: Andrew Russo | Producers: Nancy Leopardi & Ross Kohn
"Lifetime presents another thriller that doubles down when it comes to the emotional side of its story and characters. In the case of A DEADLY PRICE FOR HER PRETTY FACE (MODEL CITIZEN), however, the emotions hit especially hard due to the heightened sense of tension that the film creates for itself and allows to permeate throughout its runtime in this excellent abduction thriller — 10 of 10"

"With a talented cast playing well-defined characters against the backdrop of an action-packed drama, SECRET LIFE OF A CELEBRITY SURROGATE (THE SURROGATE) is another great thriller courtesy of Mark Gantt--and serves as a stellar behind-the-camera debut for Courtney Henggeler. Score: 8 out of 10 "

Selected Scenes
Feature Film | Starring Colin Egglesfield, Leonor Varela, Brianne Davis, Samantha Sloyan, James Black
Director of Photography: Andrew Russo | Producers: Nancy Leopardi & Ross Kohn
"Directed by Mark Gantt from a script by Ron McGee, the movie shrewdly depicts what might have happened twice... Unlike some Lifetime movies – especially those that include adultery and a dead spouse – MURDER IN MEXICO doesn’t send its audience to bed with absolute clarity. That’s because this version of reality is content leaving some doubt about who might have outwitted whom, in a movie with a Hollywood connection, but not a Hollywood ending."
