About

Our guest on the show this week is superstar producer Marina Cordoni, the founder of Marina Cordoni Entertainment, aka MCE!  This is going to be such a treat because Marina will also be one of the mentors for our Indie Producers mentorship workshop on September 25th!  Marina’s handled pre-sales and completed picture sales on hits including '4 Weddings and a Funeral', 'Dead Man Walking', 'Fargo' and 'Sleepers'!   With all her amazing distribution smarts, Marina pivoted into the production world.  Marina met her business partner Kelley Feldsott Reynolds when they both executive produced one of Hallmark Network’s highest-rated TV movies, 'Love on the Air'! Now, they’ve built a bridge between Canada and the U.S., with Marina producing from Toronto and Kelley from L.A. Some of Marina and Kelley's upcoming projects include Fear the Worst, a Linwood Barclay novel starring Jason Priestley, and Wanda Woman, with writer Bridget Canning, director Gia Milani, and producer, Mary Sexton in Newfoundland.  Marina shared exclusively about her journey to sobriety and how this opened up a whole new world of creativity.   Follow Marina Cordoni @mcordoni Website: www.marinacordoni.com Photo Credit : Liliana Reyes Fotography @lilianareyesfoto Never Saw It Coming @neversawfilm - catch it on Amazon Prime  American Hangman is on iTunes globally and Amazon in the US  Love On the Air can be streamed on Hallmark Movies Now  Firecracker Department Indie Producers Mentorship Workshop on September 25, 2021!
