Marlee Roberts is the NYU Film School student (and Jersey girl) who co-produced the Blogfinger Film Festival in May 2012 and 2013 in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. She made it possible for us to raise some money for the Together Fund, and we gave some fledgling film makers the chance to show their work in a fine venue with a professional audio-visual setup (thanks to the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association.)
As many of you know, Marlee already is a professional actress and singer, as well as a film maker, but, as we found out with the BFFF, she has many other talents as well. We contacted her today to find out how her summer went, and this is her email response:
“So nice to hear from you!!! Glad you’ve been keeping busy doing what you love. You caught me at a great time. We just wrapped production on my feature directorial debut!!! I’ve attached some production stills and a general press release. This is what we’ve been working on all summer!”
Marlee Roberts has completed 20 independent projects, one of which was shown at the Cannes Film Festival this year. This indie film is called “Little Miss Perfect,” and Marlee also gets credit as writer. You can read about it at Marlee’s new film link
We wish her well as she continues to be so creative and productive—she is amazing and very lovely besides, so we persuaded Lillian Roth to sing about her (below).
