I write, direct, and produce character-driven films through Kojak Films. Built with a close creative circle, the work moves between dark comedy and drama, with performance always at its center.
From Francisco Breton and Kenneth Trujillo comes The Marleys, a dark comedy about blood, brotherhood, and the stains that outlast God.
Starring Christopher Genovese and Robert Walker-Branchaud, two cousins take on one last cleanup. Tommy is already moving on. Jimmy is not built for what comes after.
On a long day soaked in bleach and silence, they move from job to job, keeping things clean while something unspoken starts to surface. What’s left is routine, small talk, and whatever you avoid saying out loud.
It drifts through moral rot with a straight face, finding humor in procedure, in timing, and in the moments where something real slips through and gets shut down just as fast.
With the bite of In Bruges, the grit of Killing Them Softly, and the absurd calm of A Serious Man.
Screening next at the Athens Film Festival.
