About
Originally from Southern California, Marlene bounced around from city to city within the U.S. as a child wondering where she would land. As an adult, she is a graduate of the University of New Mexico with a BFA in Film & Digital Media and graduating from the London Film School, still curious about where she'll land. Her 16mm directorial debut SANGRE was an Official Selection of the San Pedro International Film Festival 2017, and explored the theme of 'unconditional love'. It raised the question 'could you love someone after learning the ugliest truth about them?' As she continues directing, she hopes to improve her skills in telling stories that are deeply personal and to continue to ask tough questions through her work.
