Born very near the location of his first film, Lift, in London's
East End, Marc Isaacs began working on documentary films as an
Assistant Producer in 1995. He then assisted Pavel Pawlikowski on
Twockers and the award winning Last Resort. After completing Lift
in 2001, Marc directed two further documentaries for the BBC about
the sub-culture of shoplifting, both of which were nominated for a
BAFTA Craft Award in the UK. His documentary film Travellers for
Channel 4 was then followed by Calais: The Last Border, which
offers an original view of England from across the Channel. His
most recent film is Philip and His Seven Wives, which was premiered
at the Sheffield International Documentary Film Festival 2005, and
is to be released theatrically in mid-2006.
