After years of working in creative industries, including National Geographic Television and a prominent New York advertising firm, Marina Donahue launched Corner Bar Pictures in 2014. Her first project was co-writing and co-directing the feature film ALL IN TIME, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. A winner of 12 festival awards - including 3 Best Features, 3 Audience Awards, 2 Best Directors, a Best of Fest, an Indie Spirit Award, and a Grand Jury Prize - the romantic comedy drama was featured at over 60 film festivals worldwide.

Marina also wrote and produced the 12-time award-winning animated short documentary THE VELVET UNDERGROUND PLAYED AT MY HIGH SCHOOL, an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival and over 100 festivals worldwide. The film was chosen by PBS to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock as part of the Peabody-award-winning series, American Experience, and was also licensed for broadcast and streaming by PBS for their American Documentary POV Shorts series. She also produced the award-winning NATIVE, starring Patrick Bergin, seen at over 25 festivals, and co-directed and produced the popular 5-part YouTube web series, DRAMA.

In 2018, Marina was second unit director on the Irish 1980’s romcom DANNYBOY directed by Ferdia MacAnna, and she is currently writing and developing a 5-part limited TV series, FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHILD, an historical drama set in 1960’s Ireland. In October, 2017, the script was selected by the Richard Harris International Film Festival in Limerick to be performed by notable talent as a theatrical Live Script Read event. The series will begin production in 2020.
