Mark Kohl is an acclaimed Director and Cinematographer known for his bold, cinematic storytelling across television, film, and commercials. He’s directed and shot over 130 episodes of America’s Most Wanted, lensed features for Francis Ford Coppola’s American Zoetrope, and worked on major films like Lonely Hearts with John Travolta and Recount for HBO.
Mark has also created over 2,000 commercials for top brands including McDonald’s, Honda, AT&T, and Carnival Cruise Lines, earning numerous Addy and Telly Awards along the way.
But behind the scenes, Mark faced a profound personal battle. At the height of his success, he lost everything to severe depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. His path to healing came through the powerful therapeutic use of Ayahuasca and psilocybin, which opened new dimensions of consciousness and helped him rediscover his purpose.
Today, Mark is not only a celebrated DGA director but also the founder of Frequency House, a wellness and consciousness center in Topanga Canyon dedicated to helping others heal through plant medicine, intention, and spiritual connection. His story is one of remarkable transformation, a journey from Hollywood to healing, now inspiring others to awaken to their own potential.
