An intimate portrait of an oft-forgotten character in Hollywood: the screenwriter. Raised in Baghdad, screenwriter Mardik Martin was infused with an early love for movies when he was sent to the U.S. by his family to avoid being drafted into the Iraqi army. Mardik discovered the NYU cinema department, and there he met Martin Scorsese; their friendship would lead to some of the greatest films in American cinema.
Mardik: From Baghdad to Hollywood was directed by Evan York and Ramy Katrib.
Mardik: From Baghdad to Hollywood runs for 1h 16min, and was released in 2008.
