Kiwi Mark Piper began his career as an actor, then joined emerging director Roger Donaldson — helping Donaldson run company Aardvark Films and assisting him on breakthrough New Zealand feature Sleeping Dogs (1977). Though Piper would later return home to direct episodes of Shortland Street and Mercy Peak, he has since worked largely in Australia, plus occasional work excursions to Vietnam. His extensive directorial CV includes many Australian TV staples, including early episodes of All Saints, Blue Heelers, and Home and Away. These days he runs Bryon Bay Film and Television School.
