Marie is a current MA Film Directing student at the Edinburgh College of Art specializing in documentary filmmaking, though she is passionate about all art at the intersection of social justice, education and community building.   

Marie was raised in Colorado, but has spent time all across the United States, including her undergraduate studies where she received a B.A.C in Public Relations from the University of Alabama. She's had experience working for non profit organisations and universities, startups, publishing companies, and film festivals; and is now looking for work in the film sector across a myriad of capacities: directing, producing and editing, as well as screening and programming for film festivals.  Marie is also part of Anima Entertainment's push to support new filmmakers breaking into the industry.
