EXCLUSIVE: When Cate Blanchett received an “urgent, must watch” email with short film Marion by writer-directors Joe Weiland and Finn Constantine attached, she didn’t know quite what to expect. Blanchett, who ultimately joined Sienna Miller as an executive producer on the film, told Deadline, “You don’t see something as fully realized as this, and as visceral and as enticing and powerful and memorable… To be in dialogue with this was just something I couldn’t turn down.” Marion follows Weiland’s directorial debut Gorka, which was nominated for a Best British Short Film BAFTA, while it marks Constantine’s move into narrative filmmaking, alongside his work as a director and photographer in the fashion, art and music industry.
