Having written, produced and directed three films in just over four years, (two of them award-winning & streaming), Marcia's delighted her latest SAG short, ARLINGTON HALL, is a comedy.
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. It's currently streaming on 8 platforms.
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.
