Executive Producer ANDREW MASON most recently produced the science-fiction thriller "Dark City," starring William Hurt, Keifer Sutherland and Rufus Sewell, directed by Alex Proyas and filmed in Australia.

Mason began his career in the early 1970s as a film editor in documentaries and commercials. Within a couple of years he was producing and headed a highly successful commercial production company. He then ran a large Sydney film laboratory for two years before forming Australia's first visual-effects company. He worked as visual-effects supervisor on such Australian films as "Playing Beattie Bow," "One Night Stand," "Burke And Wills" and "The Time Guardian," and as optical-effects supervisor on Vincent Wardžs "Navigator."

He returned to producing and, in 1990, joined forces with Alex Proyas at Meaningful Eye Contact, producing numerous music videos and commercials directed by Proyas.

In 1993 Mason served as visual-effects supervisor and second-unit director on "The Crow," directed by Proyas. Later, Mason and Proyas formed Mystery Clock Cinema; "Dark City" was the company's first feature production.
