Maggie Marling

Hello, my niece is Brit Marling and I have watched her work extremely hard to make it through the very competitive world of indie films. Fortunately, her talent has been finally recognized and I hope everyone watches The OA, an original Netflix series she created, executive produced and stars in.

I recently co-produced a speakers panel and mixer event with Erman Baradi of MixKnowledgy at Virgin Hotels in Chicago called "Hollywood in Chicago" which featured Cinespace Chicago Film Studios, the largest film studio in the U.S. outside of LA, and the shows and movies filmed there: Empire, The Exorcist, Chicago PD, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago Justice, Sense 8, Shameless, Divergent and many others.

I am here because I am supportive of networking for up and coming artists and organizations such as Stage 32 which provide alternative opportunities for aspiring filmmakers.
