Auteur Watch - Mark Hicks

Oh good!  Another easy one... or is it?  Better be careful who you insult in Hollywood.  I mean, even George Costanza is a black belt in something, right?  He doesn't like to have it on his IMDb bio, but he did talk about it on Letterman one time; never did make a "Seinfeld" episode about it.
(Monday, 1/14) - nope.  Well, let's just blurt out a little bit then.  Clearly, Mark hasn't taken to directing yet.  Just the one so far.  And judging from the IMDb plot description on the main page here, I'm guessing they're not fast-tracking his DGA membership.  I mean, read it for yourself here!  It says this "Afro Ninja" is based on a hugely successful YouTube video.  Of course, this was back in 2009, during YouTube's infancy; if they were doing it today, sure.  Instant DGA membership today right along with PewDeePie and ... whoever else is a big star on YouTube these days.  Angry Video Game Nerd, too.  I guess he's in no big hurry to hang out with anyone else besides Lloyd Kaufman.
