Marc Silver is a two time Sundance award winning and Oscar shortlisted filmmaker - a Director/DoP.
His portfolio includes documentaries for HBO, BBC and Channel 4, concert visuals and video art installations.
Marc’s most recent feature documentary, ‘Antidote’, about indigenous knowledge and the plant medicine ayahuasca was released in cinemas in March 2023.
He was Executive Producer and Story Consultant on the 6 part soccer documentary series Mi Selección Colombia (Amazon Prime). Prior to that he spent 2 years as a Creative Storytelling Fellow within Amnesty International’s data rights team.
Marc specialises in gaining extraordinary access to people and stories that resonate globally. He is just as comfortable gaining the trust of the parents of a murdered black teenager (3 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets, HBO), the Colombian president (To End A War, theatrical release, Amazon Prime), a corporate whistleblower (Cambridge Analytica, The Guardian) or an indigenous family of healers working with ayahuasca deep in the Amazon jungle (Antidote, scheduled for release 2022).
He is also experienced working with A-list onscreen talents including Gael Garcia Bernal in his Sundance winning Who Is Dayani Cristal? (Sundance winning feature with theatrical release) jazz artist Jamie Cullum and Encanto star Maluma who voiced his Amazon Prime soccer series.
Marc is an exceptional visual storyteller who enjoys finding imaginative ways to bring stories to life whether it’s using intimate observational cinematography (Flower Punk, The New Yorker), stop frame animation (runaway social media hit Breathe, Amnesty International) or experimental drama (Recode, The Guardian). He can be playful or journalistic, shoot solo in the field or collaboratively with a full team in a studio.
Marc is currently collaborating on a film about Big Tech and democracy, a feature length teen animation set in the rainforest, and a VR installation about the interconnectedness of all things.
