Director Biography - MARCIA CARROLL

Having written, produced and directed three films in just over four years, Marcia's delighted to have completed her first comedy, a SAG short, ARLINGTON HALL, this year. The screenplay was a Semi-Finalist at Dallas International Film Festival 2026, and the completed film is now entering the festival circuit.

Following the success of her first SAG short film, JADED, now streaming on Relay, she wrote, directed & produced the Documentary Feature, LOSING GRACE FINDING HOPE, on behalf of The Grace Loncar Foundation--the story from which JADED was inspired about the tragic death of Dallas Teen Grace Loncar.
Both projects seek to spread awareness about the growing epidemic of suicide by shining a light on the loved ones left behind. It’s important to note that seven roles were led by women on the set of LOSING GRACE FINDING HOPE in addition to the many women serving The Grace Loncar Foundation who commissioned the making of it.

Now Streaming on Amazon Prime, Tubi, Apple TV, Plex, YouTube, Filmzie, Relay and Future Today, LOSING GRACE FINDING HOPE made its World Premiere at The Greenwich International Film Festival where it was a Finalist for Best Social Impact Film, WRPN International Women's Film Festival where it was awarded Excellence in Documentary Filmmaking, Ferrara Film Festival in Italy where it won Best Documentary, Portland Film Festival where it won the Audience Choice Award, Dallas International Film Festival where all three screenings sold out, Seattle Film Festival where it was nominated for Best Feature Documentary and Best Director, its UK Premiere at Ramsgate International Film Festival, and its NY Premiere at Syracuse International Film Festival.

Marcia believes in living spherically... artistically, professionally and personally & is a proud member of AEA/SAG-AFTRA/WIFD/WIFTI/DPA. As a former news writer/associate producer/undercover investigator for both CBS and NBC News, show host for the QVC Shopping Channel, community columnist for the Dallas Morning News, and acting veteran, she values most her decade-long involvement as an actor and board member for the Contemporary Theatre of Dallas. She studied with Broadway Director Terry Schreiber at his NYC studio, Beatrice Straight and Jim Boerlin at Michael Chekhov Acting Studio, and at the American Academy of Dramatic Art.

Director Statement

Arlington Hall satirizes the typical HOA Meeting by introducing a cast of quirky personalities stuck together in a room arguing over a litany of nonsensical neighborhood complaints. Capturing the humor and poignancy that arises from everyday mundane concerns, the story’s charm is revealed through the flaws and eccentricities of its 13 characters. From Trix Valentine, a woman infatuated with farmers, to Wendy Bird, a possum-obsessed animal rights fanatic, to Ian King, the self-elected HOA President, the antics never end as a battle for control escalates to a rip-roaring conclusion. Arlington Hall is a timely modern take on relatable circumstances by a charming cast of whack-a-doodles.
