Mark’s short film, Do you?, will play the festival circuit this year, and he will star in the upcoming feature film, Brighter Stars.

J. David Williams was born in the small west Tennessee town of Paris and was exposed to music from the very beginning owing to the fact that his mother is a church musician, choir director and singer. He was appointed to his first organ playing position at a local church at age 14. He holds degrees in organ performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, The Juilliard School, and Manhattan School of Music. He is presently Director of Music & Organist at Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, and Music Director at Congregation Rodeph Sholom. He has accompanied numerous vocal and instrument recitals, cabaret shows, and choral performances.
