Ben and Mark

Ben and Mark love to create art together - they gravitate towards film production of the queer and absurd.

How did your love story begin?

We met through a friend in 2019 during our first week of Freshman year at Temple University. However, we fell out of contact and didn't see each other again until years later. The summer before Junior year, we worked on a film project together directed by our friend. Ben was the director of photography and Mark was one of the actors. The location was a lakeside cabin owned by his family and they bonded during the car ride home.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Ben and Mark love being travel companions and have gone to Portugal, Turkey, Romania, cruises and more. Their memories outdoor in natural environments keep them connected and immersed in their companionship with the world. You can find them creek walking, at the beach, keeping fire pits alive, and exploring farmer's markets in their home city of Philadelphia.

What would you do with $20,000?

Film production is expensive! We would put this money towards our dream production, a goth vampire feature film complete with equipment rental and a large principal cast.
