Marco (they/them) is a BAFTA-nominated film director and writer based in London.
​
Their most recent film, SAINTMAKING, is a short doc commissioned by the Guardian about the canonisation of queer filmmaker Derek Jarman by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of queer activist nuns. They are also about to start the festival journey of their next short, THE BOWER, a sister project to SAINTMAKING. The film explores the different generational experiences of HIV through two interwoven timelines in 1991 and 2021, pivoting around a dramatic recreation of Jarman's canonisation.
