Mark Wexler

Mark Simon Wexler (born 1955) is an American documentary filmmaker and photojournalist.

[1] The Washington Post dubbed him "our latter-day Phileas Fogg"[2] following publication of his Los Angeles Times article "True Confessions of a Mileage Maniac" about his 30-day global circumnavigation, entirely financed with Frequent Flier miles.

[4] Wexler was interviewed live on The Today Show regarding his expertise on the topic of life extension.

[12] As the first filmmaker ever granted unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, Wexler told the story of the “Flying White House” both in terms of its unique technological and historical significance.

In interviews with a wide variety of subjects, including fitness legend Jack LaLanne, author Ray Bradbury, futurist Aubrey de Gray and inventor Ray Kurzweil, the film invited viewers to consider ways to live a long life, but one that is also meaningful.

[22] His photographs are also featured in the books The Power to Heal,[23] Passage to Vietnam[24] and 24 Hours in Cyberspace.

Wexler has exhibited his work in galleries around the world, including the International Center of Photography in New York.
