I'm Marianne, just a lonely person who loves to write and draw. I've often felt that my work doesn't really have a place of its own. Hopefully I can find a place here.

the darkness is getting heavier
my back is getting weaker
I have no reason to be here
there is no more land for camp or purchase
no neighbors to bring me in
for water and a word
everyone has their tribe
and none of these would have me
all I can do is find some sort of divine exhilaration
in the rejection and silence
#my body is clay#my good frame a vapor#my end is ashes#an excruciating inner pyre with a lost purpose#just a ghost

God suffers with his creation
Faith is not something I express in its true depths outside of those that closely know me, as itās a sacred part of my nature. A lot of us grew up around the crosshairs of traditionalism and americanized, commercial faiths that were certain of their assembly line anointing. Often have I wanted to clasp hands around my very soul and run to whatever far off place the Holy Ghost slipped away to. I feel a suffocating grief at seeing Christās name used for the worst of causes. I spent my Easter listening to Ethel Cain and watching The Last Temptation of Christ. Being an artist, there was always a push from the church for me to draw āChristianā art growing up. Naturally as I got older, I rejected that notion and became intent on never drawing anything to do with scripture. However, I admire the lifestyle of the (lore accurate) Christ, and those themes permeate my work in every layer. There is no narrative bite of mine without the original contact I made with The Ghost, without pulling from the upbringing, the lonely mysterious ways we tried to make sense of whatever abuse, prosperity, or invisibility we might have received within the walls of the church. After all these years, it still remains to be only you and the mysterious moments where you brush fingertips with the divine. Some of the old songs still reach my heart, and those years in congregation affirmed what I did not want to be. Christ sometimes feels like the only person who understands those of us who are caught in the in-between of all things. In-between societal paths, artistry, gender, identity, faith, and belonging. So letās meet there, in that unmapped place

CHORD EXILED: A Metalcore exorcism narrative Two metal musicians from the American South yearn for a way to make the music they dream of. Haunted by their desire for creative breakthrough, the answer theyāve been searching for may reside in an otherworldly Museās lethal invitation, but at the price of their band, their souls, and their bond with each other.
Thank you to everyone who helped me bring this into the world. I want to take this as far as I can, and work with as many people as possible. I love the metalcore scene, I love the artistry it holds, and am grateful for the existence of several people within it. -Marianne

āEveryone youāre trying to carve your remembrance onto, already keeps you close.ā
Thinking about those caught in the midst of unrest, war, and fire. The weight of the world pulls dreams from the sky, and into the soil. We grieve what seems forever out of reach. I meditate on your safety, and the manifestation of that which calls to you. A strange power, a desire to survive, and see that day.

āYou afterwards break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn the sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.ā ā The Last Temptation of Christ

Exorcisms. Metalcore: my campaign for Chord Exiled is officially live!
CHORD EXILEDĀ is a thriller/exorcism narrative that shows the plight of two haunted metalcore musicians as they search for an otherworldly solution to their creative limits.Ā Ā The answer they've been searching for may be found in an otherworldly Muse's lethal invitation. Both a reflection of an artist's silent struggle and a love letter to the metalcore genre-- the core of an artist's identity is put to the fire in this haunting, sentimental story.
A bit about me: Iām Marianne. Sketcher, screenwriter, a bit of a ghost. I'm coming off of my award-winning short film Pink, into my feature debut in Chord Exiled. Thanks to my brother, I very much grew up a core kid-- well, as much as my siblings and I could finesse within a Christian/Hispanic household. There is something unique to be told within this world of religious upbringing and the metalcore scene. My aim is to weave an intimate story with striking visuals thatĀ echoesĀ a universal struggle garbed in a one-of-a-kind shade.
What We Need & What You Get
For Fans of films like Sing Street, Soul, and Alien, This proof of concept is a visualizer of the film, following Benji and RJ as they make a lethal deal with the Muse. Shooting this September on location in Tennessee, the short will provideĀ just a taste of the peril, musical direction, and emotional core found within the narrative feature.Ā Ā
The perks are pretty cool:Ā from holographic stickersĀ to displaying posters ofĀ your band as part of our production design;Ā I like to be creative with the rewards, no matter the level, it's one-of-a-kind as a thank you for supporting me.
No matter the amount, every penny donated will go directly to the production, the backer rewards, production design, and paying our cast and crew during filming and post-production.Ā
My eternal thanks if you choose to share and boost!
