Film career
At 15 years old, Mack started his pursuit in film by editing together footage from the popular Xbox video game series Halo to create montages in which he posted to on-line forums and YouTube. As he gained popularity with his Halo montages, he helped co-found a freelance video editing, motion graphics, and videography group called 'Viral Design' who produced product promotional videos for companies such as Red Bull, SteelSeries, and Gunnar Optiks.
In 2011 Mack started the 'MOPA' film program at Capilano University in North Vancouver, BC. Having failed his first year, Mack dropped out in his second year of courses.
The day after he dropped out of film school he started working with the Provincial Health Services Authority in a suicide-awareness pilot program titled 'Cuystwi'. Mack and several other artists traveled to reserves in British Columbia that registered for the pilot program to teach children how to express themselves through filmmaking.
