Biography

He adopted the name "Marcus" from his grandfather, who was a Polish-Jewish soldier in the Eighth Army during WW2. He has two sisters. His father died when he was 10 years old. A short time after his father's death, Tell became a protégé of Rika Berkovich, a children's books author. In 2004, she published a book that he wrote.[1] [2]
He served as an Infantry Sniper in the IDF and took part in Operation Pillar of Defense.[3] In 2014, he studied prose writing under Lea Aini and Alex Epstein. Tell was rejected six times from film schools, until he enrolled in a theoretical degree in film at Tel Aviv University. In his third year he organized and led a mutiny that caused a change in the Film department.[3] [4]
