My Name is Mark Sinacori.

I'm a writer/actor in Los Angeles, CA.

I'm originally from Lawrence, Mass and moved to Los Angeles on September 2, 2005 to attend UCLA's Professional 1 year screenwriting program. I was one of 50 interviewed for the MFA that March, but due to it being highly selective, most of the students selected came from that 1 year program as they had been familiar with the staff already. Even though I did not get in, being one of the 50 meant we were "the best of the best", and that alone makes me feel that I'm a good writer, if not great. back then, I had never taken a screenwriting class, had screenwriting software, et. I wrote my screenplays in stage play format, yet I included act breaks where commercials went and made it readable and understandable that they flowed like an episode of television as you read the scripts.

Following UCLA, I got a job at CBS in Hollywood where I worked on many shows as a studio page. I worked at American Idol, Dancing With The Stars and The Price Is Right during Bob Barker's final season. At all the shows I worked at TPIR, I would always get the audience to have fun in line. I also got to work Bob's last show in June of 2007!

Two years later, I found myself on many sets, getting featured on shows between 2009 and 2012 such as Glee, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Men Of A Certain Age, Don't Trust The B- In Apartment 23 and The Defenders.

In 2011, I wrote my first short film "Womanizer" which was directed by John Blyth Barrymore of the Hollywood Barrymore family, yet after constant lagging from mostly the editors, it took several years to put together and was not 100% in my final vision.

In 2014, I found myself back in the studios again as a Page. This time, working on many sitcoms and greeting and processing their audiences such as Mike & Molly, Mom, 2 Broke Girls, The Ranch, Girl Meets World and Fuller House! As soon as I worked at Fuller House, I realized I was able to do something I used to do at The Price Is Right...get the audience excited out in line. This time around, unlike at TPIR, which included me singing and acting all loopy to get laughs and everyone to cheer for Bob Barker, I did lots of trivia from the original series which worked well! I also did this for the audience at Girl Meets World which also worked just as well, and for audiences of both The Ranch and 2 Broke Girls.

I'm always pushing along, even though at times things seem tough, I never give up, and because of that have worked on some amazing shows and have lots of good memories to look back on!

A NOTE ABOUT MY WRITING

My writing is in screenplay format. However, when I write my screenplays on final draft on my computer, there is no way to convert them to PDF, so I have to convert them to Word by copying and pasting the whole script there. Doing that positions the screenplay to the left and it's hard for me to re-align everything to make it look like the way it does on final draft, then when I upload them on here, again, everything is positioned to the left and indented... so when reading my screenplays, just forget they aren't 100% in the correct format due to the writing being jumbled when copied/pasted and uploaded on here. They still read like regular screenplays with slugline scene settings, action, and character dialogue, as well as teasers and act breaks. It would be great if fanfiction.net accepted .fdr files, but I guess that's not an option! I've tried saving the.fdr file as a .rtf file, and still,when uploaded on here, it all aligns to the left and has indents all the way through. Not my doing!

I'm not afraid of criticism, so long as it's not related to my life and how I live it, my values and my education, which stalkers have at many times bashed me on (writing and acting, and other arts and anything I've done in life). If you see reviews on here talking about "Mark is hurting himself posting this trash," or "He should take care and upload it the right way if he's a professional writer," then look at the person's profile and see they claim they are accomplished screenwriter, it's basically one of my stalkers who's done this for years with fake profiles and just researching or trying to think they know more than I know about the biz when they aren't in it, from any acting or video I've made online, to my first short film Womanizer I uploaded on indie reign, to this website, they've done the same thing since as far back as I can remember. I don't consider my writing to be golden, but it is entertaining to me and it's something that I and a lot of others have told me would watch.

FORMAT ON FANFICTION.NET: There's no info on how to upload a screenplay on here as most users make prose and it's typically left aligned just like in novels... many users upload them the way they want to. My screenplays flow in the correct order, yet they are all indented as such...Scene heading (indent), Action, (indent), character in caps (indent) dialogue (indent) and if there is an action after the dialogue, sometimes it does get confusing since it's the same size. But this website doesn't make it clear on how to upload a screenplay and I'm no tech genius. It won't upload simple .fdr files, and if it did it would make it so much easier than to copy and paste the file into word, then to space it out because it leaves no spacing once pasted in word. Overall, there have been reviews online claiming that fanfiction.net DOES NOT SUPPORT OR IS NOT INTENDED FOR SCREENPLAY FORMAT, that's why most scripts you see are aligned to the left and in no way resemble a .fdr file. Please don't think that because of the way I uploaded my scripts on here that I am "clueless"or have no final draft software, I've had it since 2005. I write all my screenplays there. Even if I .pdf the file, the site on here will align the script all to the left and indent. Oh, yeah, and when saving a .fdr file as .rtf and then uploading it on here, it will mess up the font's of the character names and slug-lines, so again, another technical glitch on behalf of this website. All my screenplays follow the correct order of setup structure, but this site really REALLY makes it hard for the reader to follow because it doesn't match the exact format/set-up the way I wrote the damn screenplays in .fdr file in the first place. Some stalkers may think it's me, I don't have final draft or know how to format, but the screenplays have all been formatted, the site just formats them differently once uploadedhere.

https:///user/326432855/Mark-Sinacori This is where to also find my screenplays I've uploaded on here. They are much easier to read as they don't indent, yet like this website, they don't 100% publish the .rtf file once converted. Instead, this site bold faces all the text and isn't concerned about character names ending on one page/just their dialogue beginning on the next as that's how this website presents a polished screenplay. I don't think it's possible to upload a perfect .fdr file onto any site without it being altered, even in small ways, even if converted to .rtf, .doc or .word, the format won't be 100% true to final draft format. This site is the better of the two for uploading screenplays on that were made on final draft.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS

Melrose Place was the show that started it all for me wanting to be a writer. The script I used for grad school submissions in 2005 I wrote back in 2003 and kept working on it over and over again in stage play format until fall of 2004 when I sent it out, it was a lot like Melrose Place but set by the ocean. I even had a whole season worth of ideas planned. That's how I make my screenplays for TV pilots. I think up the location, the characters, what will happen in the pilot, and just go and write it. After I have the Pilot written, I map out the rest of the 12 episodes, then the hopeful 9 more that follow and what will happen in them. And, if they are more suitable on Netflix, map out 10.

I'm a big TV fan of the 70s-90s. People say TV is better today. I think it's not. The video and audio may be, but the writing is very profane. I'm okay with that, yes, it's a times change, but it's not just that-there are no more family sitcoms or hour long dramas anymore on network TV that have to do with location/family. Hour long dramas about location were Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing and Falcon Crest in the 1980s and Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210 in the 1990s. If any aired since the early 2000s, they are short lived and cancelled such as North Shore, Titans and Cane, all which ended with cliffhangers after a single season or were pulled/cut back on episodes (even Melrose Place's return was not that great- that show needed me as a writer or at least adviser, the new writers chosen on there were not familliar with the originals and they left so many old stories from the original out without clarification from the returning characters and messed up their character histories that it only got 18 episodes and was cancelled). The other thing is there are no more family sitcoms. What happened to TGIF? Even more, what happened to TV theme songs and intros? They cut them down more and more just for more commercials and story...nowadays, many shows just have a show title card and that's it, maybe a 10-20 second jingle, you don't see the cast's names and faces on them. That's what was special about the 1970s-1990s. Most shows did that, and in the late 1990s and on they slowly phased out of it. Family sitcoms I'm big on are practically everything from the 1980s and early 1990s including Gimme A Break! The Facts Of Life, Diff'rent Strokes, ALF, Punky Brewster, Small Wonder, Amen, 227, Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, Mama's Family, Benson, Mr. Belvedere, Silver Spoons, Roseanne, The Golden Girls, Home Improvement, The Cosby Show, Three's Company, and even early than that, All In The Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Sanford And Son, The Brady Bunch, and Gilligan's Island!

Aside from nighttime dramas, I have also taken my hand at half hour sitcoms (family centered). Years ago when I was in high school in 1999-2000, for fun, I'd write mumbo jumbo nonsense on Gimme A Break! Online, these were not drafted, they were just one time thrown together and looked like a 10 year old wrote them...they are, yes, still on there. Basically, they are ideas for the episodes, but aren't that long, are not formatted, and hundreds of spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. They were just thrown together in one sitting. A goal I have is to be there in any way for any of the shows that get revival series'. I have been there for both Fuller House and Girl Meets world so far, greeting and processing audiences and doing trivia with them out in line on both their original series' and the most current full season available to the world.
