Mark Foscolo
Filmmaker & Founder
With over 15 years of diverse industry experience, I've had the privilege of working on an array of projects, ranging from corporate videos to high-profile commercials and Hollywood blockbusters. My portfolio includes collaborations with renowned consumer brands such as Coca-Cola, Nike, Lacoste, Canon, and Tiffany, as well as producing and editing promotional, partnership, and sales videos for esteemed Fortune 500 corporations like Computer Associates and Jabil.
As a seasoned visual effects artist, I've contributed to the success of popular films for major studios, including Netflix's "The Fundamentals of Caring" featuring Paul Rudd, "Bone Tomahawk" starring Kurt Russell, and "White Boy Rick" starring Matthew McConaughey.
Throughout my journey as a professional video artist, I've honed the skills necessary to realize my lifelong passion – filmmaking. Over recent years, I've dedicated myself to crafting and producing two acclaimed short films that have graced prestigious film festivals worldwide, earning multiple accolades. This success has led me to collaborate with a team of accomplished producers and investors on potential feature film projects.
Today, as the founder of Setting Sun, my mission is to empower individuals to authentically tell their stories through the compelling medium of documentary film, leaving a lasting impact. Documentaries offer a truly unique form of storytelling, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals, hear their extraordinary narratives, and immortalize their legacies in a manner that fills them with pride.
TJ Foscolo
Sound Engineer & Musician
Ever since I was a boy I was fascinated by the stories we tell. After finding my way to the guitar at the age of 15 I found my outlet for telling my own story, and in turn began to pull at a deeper string. What makes us who we are? What defines the things we hold dear? I realized people have been posing these questions through art forever; the answers stuck within their lens of time.
I pursued a musical career in further search of this depth, to find answers by asking the questions nagging inside. I was fortunate enough to work alongside many talented people in my journey so far; collaborating on many projects while also releasing my own under the pseudonym Goghi(Go-Hi). I currently write and produce all my own music from my home studio.
After 2020 I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to be exposed to the film industry through the visual effects and post production side of things during my time with Platinum Platypus. I learned everything from rotoscoping, tracking, 3D tracking, and compositing and eventually worked on over 10 feature films. This exposure grew an already existing love in me for film and it’s potential and impact in contributing to our greater human story. Shortly thereafter, I was blessed to be able to be a part in co creating two award winning short films with my brother, also contributing the musical score for the second. The time committed and love cultivated within the work led us to a realization.
We can use the abilities we have collected through our time pursuing our passions, to help tell the passion and stories of others. With Setting Sun, our goal is to provide a legacy service for people to showcase the beauty and original story that is their life; in their own words. A timeless piece to hold forever, and a way for future generations to stay connected to where they came from through the stories that made us.
