Welcome to Marginalia,

a film by Brenden Bowers.

            

Marginalia explores the reality of parasocial relationships, how they affect a person, and how music moves those consuming it.

“Two stories being told parallel with each other, a couple's relationship falls apart over clear differences, while a Japanese musician loses his life due to mental health struggles. Both relate to one thing, how they listen to or create music.”

Reed and Adrienne’s world is contrasted with that of Hiroshi’s. It brings them together. Or does it separate them instead? 

The film draws from: 

Oh, and before we forget – there’s also a swamp.


This acts as a senior thesis film for Brenden Bowers, and will be aiming to shoot at the end of March (dates are subject to change).

 

To curate the tone and the world of Marginalia well, we need the appropriate funding to make it happen!

Funds will be going towards departments such as Locations (35%), Crew/Cast Care & Equipment (30%), Art (25%), and Production (10%)

The money needed in these departments will be used in ways such as helping us attain locations and build realistic sets for our characters to live in the film, ensuring the care of our cast and crew whether it’s through meals or hiring the proper on-set care, and supporting our camera and art department in bringing visuals of the story to life. 
 

The Marginalia team is comprised of both current students and alumni of an LA-based film school. Combined, the team has accumulated a large number of credits in their roles on various types of films: senior thesis projects, short films, limited series, features, documentaries, and more.

 

Thank you for all your support! We are all so excited to bring you into the story and sit in it with you. We hope to create a space of thought and contemplation as we explore these stories and these characters.

We want to keep you updated on what’s going on! Check out our social media @marginalia.film for more information as we head into the production of the film and beyond.
