about Mark Asch

Mark Asch served as Film Editor for The L Magazine and its sister publication Brooklyn Magazine, on and off, from 2007 to 2017. A graduate of NYU's Cinema Studies program, he has lived in Alphabet City, in the same building as Richard Kern; in Bed-Stuy halfway between the locations of Do the Right Thing and Dave Chappelle's Block Party; in Clinton Hill, where he shopped at the same Met Foods where the young Notorious B.I.G. bagged groceries; and in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, a few blocks down from the old Ebbets Field and Freddie Fitzsimmons Lanes, where Shirley MacLaine rolls a few frames in Desperate Characters.
