🎬 Featured Artist on Set – Werewolves Within (2021)
New York / NYC Production
When original art meets the silver screen.
In 2021, Marnie’s original portraits—of iconic figures such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings—were selected for inclusion as on-set décor in the highly-acclaimed film Werewolves Within, directed by Josh Ruben and written by Mishna Wolff. IMDb+1
This unique placement not only brought Marnie’s work into a cinematic context, but also offered visibility on a global platform—anchoring her fine-art voice within a major motion picture.
“When your art lives on screen — even for a moment — it becomes part of someone else’s story.”
— Marnie
Project Highlights
- Her portraits were displayed in several scenes, mounted on the walls of set locations used during the film’s production—bringing character and texture to the on-screen environment.
- The film itself is a production of note: Werewolves Within was shot in New York State’s Hudson Valley region, and offers a blend of comedy, horror, and mystery under Josh Ruben’s direction. Vanity Fair+1
- By embedding her original works into the film’s visual world, Marnie’s art connected with an audience far beyond the gallery, entering a mainstream media context and linking her work to a cinematic narrative.
Why This Is a Stand-Out Accomplishment
- Cross-disciplinary impact: The bridge from fine art gallery to film set is rare — this placement demonstrates adaptability, relevance, and visibility across mediums.
- High-profile cultural presence: Werewolves Within has drawn attention for its fresh take on a video-game adaptation and for its filming in distinctive locations like Spillian in New York. Spillian+1
- Legacy and permanence: Art used in film becomes part of the visual archive of that production—it’s seen, even if subtly, by audiences, critics and streaming viewers worldwide.
