Marcus Aubin is a filmmaker specializing in documentary, whose work explores the people, places, and traditions that shape our collective sense of meaning. Drawn to stories of stewardship, heritage, and community, he creates films about those who dedicate themselves to preserving what matters, whether that be cultural memory, artistic expression, historic landmarks, or the identity of a neighborhood. From the ancient streets of Volterra, Italy, to the murals of Chicago's South Side, to the digital preservation of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, Marcus's films examine how individuals and communities carry meaningful stories forward through time.
Marcus also has extensive experience in narrative fiction, music video, and freelance videography of all sorts. Film has been the primary aspect of his life since a young age. It is his passion and calling in life.
At the heart of his work is a simple belief: places, traditions, and ideas endure because people choose to care for them. Through intimate, human-centered storytelling, he documents the people who keep meaning alive.
