Mark Cella, Marley & Me

Mark A. Cella is a distinguished fellow of film studies at California State University in Los Angeles. He’s a published writer on Cinema History and Film Theory. He has directed over 35 shorts and documentaries, including the award winning “Marlboro House”, which took top prize at the 2006 Slamdance short competition.

John churns out columns for a Florida daily but always aimed for a high-profile journalism career like that of his globetrotting buddy, Sebastian (Dane), who lands at The New York Times. Restless, the couple moves to Philly in search of more satisfying reportage for John, but, shucks, the guy's a born columnist: He's no muckraker, although he's pretty dang handy with a pooper-scooper. Marley & Me is less about dreams deferred than new, unexpected dreams emerging. And Marley, the dog from hell, (wouldn't you know it) turns out to be nothing shy of a gift from heaven. Sweet and wise and often laugh-out-loud funny (just like Grogan's book), Marley & Me isn't just for dog people.
