After graduating from USC, Mark Burton produced over 25 theatre productions in Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, and throughout India. After starting WonderFilms in 1995, he produced five Indian feature films including The Terrorist, directed by Santosh Sivan. After screening at both the 1999 Sundance and Toronto film festivals, The Terrorist was released theatrically in the U.S. in January 2000 and went on to garner an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best foreign film. John Malkovich, an ardent supporter of the film, presented the picture internationally. Burton recently executive produced Santosh Sivan's Asoka, which premiered at the 2001 Venice and Toronto Film Festivals before enjoying a successful release in the US and the UK.

Burton is currently producing Richard Jobson's 16 Years of Alcohol as well as a project with Film4 in the U.K., The Good Life, based on the novel by Keith Scribner and adapted by Alexander Stuart (The War Zone).
