The Filmmakers
Blowout was created by Superlux for the 2013 Atlanta 48-Hour Film Project. Superlux is a one-stop creative resource, dedicated to the moving image.
Mark Falls, director
Prior to founding Superlux, Mark worked in animation and broadcast design at Crawford Communications in Atlanta.
During high school, Mark couldn’t decide whether to become a writer, an artist or a filmmaker. It turned out there was no need to choose.
Mark and wife Loren formed Superlux in 2001, fusing design and production into an integrated creative offering. Mark has written and directed hundreds of productions involving motion graphics, animation and live action. BLOWOUT is his second film.
Loren Fancher Falls, producer
Superlux Principal and Executive Producer Loren Falls’ love of photography sparked a career that spans decades – and multiple artistic disciplines.
Loren worked as a studio assistant for legendary ATL shooters Richard Hoflich and Tom Hill while pursuing certification in photography and graphic design at Portfolio Center.
At the end of that decade the Falls’ were lured south by the burgeoning art scene in Miami’s South Beach. There, the freelancing couple inhabited an apartment in the Ocean Drive mansion that would eventually become Gianni Versace’s private home.On returning to Atlanta, Loren finished her degree – in film production – at Georgia State University. She worked as a production manager at Turner Broadcasting’s Film & Video unit before joining Superlux full-time in 2006. Loren worked in various crew capacities on the feature films “False River,” “Twinge”, and “El Norteño”, and the short “I, My Brother’s Keeper.”, and wrote and directed the short “Bug Man”. Loren’s design background, art direction career and inquisitive nature stamp her productions with an indelible visual signature that is always concise, dynamic, memorable and human.
