Marcel The Muscle Man

Life update -

I just graduated from the MFA - Filmmaking program at City College of New York. The pandemic put a damper on many an endeavor, but my peers and I prevailed!

I'm happy to introduce to the world my thesis film, Marcel The Muscle Man. It's about a muscular but meek fella who strains under the pressures of masculinity and struggles to find work. After serendipitously landing a circus strongman gig, he proves a talented performer, but has reason to doubt if he's really man enough for the job. 

The flick runs thirteen minutes and change, was ambitiously shot in a single room (spcifically, room 290 inside the cathedralesque Shepard Hall), and took a great deal of efforts and energies from a number of fine folks (to whom I give my sincerest thanks) to bring to the screen.



The film was warmly received at City Film's showcase, Cityvisions, at the SVA Theatre on 23rd St in NYC on Jun 20, 2022

Marcel The Muscle Man was awarded Best Cinemagraphy at Cityvisions!


Kudos to Ayoub El Jamal, our DP!
