ConceptionMedia is a full-service film production company specializing in documentary work, with its own state of the art land and underwater cameras, sound, lighting, and editing equipment. ConceptionMedia produces the highest quality films for education, television and theatrical release.

ConceptionMedia was established in March of 2002 by Director and Producer Mark Manning.

Mark Manning was a deep sea commercial diver for 22 years within the offshore oil business. In March of 2002, he retired from the marine industry and founded ConceptionMedia, a film production company dedicated to social interest documentaries. His purpose now lies in filming stories about the aspects of life that fundamentally affect us all, but have limited or no means of exposure in today's mainstream media.

ConceptionMedia is currently involved in joint productions with Iraqi filmmakers to bring to the American public a true sense of what is happening in Iraq from the perspective of the Iraqi people themselves. Mark Manning has spent time in Iraq living with the people of Fallujah and is working on his latest films based on his experiences there.

ConceptionMedia is committed to providing the public with the truth-based and factual information they need to make rational and informed decisions about the issues that affect us all.
