On a hot sunny July evening, a wed mother-to-be gives birth to a natural born photographer, graphic designer, music producer, and director at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California. Soon to be established as their first and only child, Marques T. Owens had plenty time to himself to tune into his creative mind. As a kid he loved to draw and paint while initiating clubs at school and with neighborhood friends to pass time. Marques T. Owens picked up a camera at a young age for a museum given enrichment class in photography and from there the love of visual art was locked. He also made home movies with the household video camera and showcased them to his peers at school. This, among many other things proved that he was an innovator.
Breaking from the normal fad, Marques wore his take of the latest fashion to school which many laughed at, but others sided with. As he continued towards more creative enrichment classes, including the "Video Shoot" Program for kids at UCLA, he also took as many video production, computer graphics and photography classes during school as he could. Marques maintained such courses all the way through college. From then on, with hands on application, he began to master his craft even more.
Completing internships at prestigious record companies such as Warner Bros. Records and A&M Records in the video department, Marques quickly took a liking to the industry amongst him and from then on, he knew his destiny. With all of his acquired education and experience, Marques Owens is destined to be a major influence in the entertainment industry.
After graduating from Clark Atlanta University as a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. with a B.A. in Fine Arts, you will now find Marques running the day to day operations as the CEO of Motimedia, LLC. Motimedia is the umbrella company for Mosaic7 Pictures (motion picture production company), Motogenic Photography, Motif Concepts (graphic design company), and MO Girls USA (female model promotion company). In today's Digital Entertainment market, Marques Owens a.k.a. "MO" is doing what he likes to do best... 'Taking Action' and 'Calling the Shots'.
"Occupation: Hollywood, The Movie" was Mr. Owens' debut feature film, winning the "Robert Rodriguez Award of Excellence" at the 2005 "Hollywood DV Festival". This award is the highest in the festival and is Marques' monument to the beginning of his promising directing career.
