Weekly). Marshall was selected by Filmmaker Magazine as one of “25 New Faces of Independent Film”, and he was awarded the International Documentary Association (IDA) Jacqueline Donnet Filmmaker Award.
His current film, “Racing Dreams” is being lauded by critics everywhere and Scott Feinberg of the LA Times called it “One of the best films of the year so far…an instant classic”. Bilge Ebiri of New York Magazine states that Racing Dreams is “an exciting, poignant tale of growing up fast with adult ambitions“.
