Ep #35 On the road w/ Pierre Marais
About this Episode
Singer, songwriter, filmmaker, Broadway actor...Pierre Marais takes being a multi hyphenate to a WHOLE new level! Originally from Capetown, South Africa, and a great pal for fourteen years, Pierre currently stars in Jamie Lloyd's groundbreaking revival of Sunset Boulevard, and has previously appeared on Broadway and in the National touring production of Disney's Aladdin, as well as the tour of A Chorus Line...has starred regionally as Jack Kelly in Newsies and the Emcee in Cabaret, and all while balancing an equally demanding calling/vocation as an award-winning filmmaker.
As Apple Pie, written and directed by Marais, has landed him a win for Best Indie Short Film at the New York International Film Awards and as a finalist for Best Young Filmmaker at the world renowned Cannes Film Festival. Pierre talks about the special challenges faced by International artists here in the States and how those challenges serve to inspire all facets of his work as an artist. A true gem of a human, Pierre continues to serve as a role model for any young artist working to find their authentic voice in the chaos of our industry, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
