Crew. Sillen has spent 15 years as both an award winning documentary filmmaker and commercial director. Doyle has served as Sillen’s producer and collaborator. The duo teamed up to create a boutique shop focused on real people storytelling. The name C41 Media is a nod to the color negative film developing process (C41). This analogue process was the precursor to the digital revolution. The rolls of color negative film that were developed at drug stores across the US democratized photography in the 20th Century. It transformed average Americans into documentarians, historians, and artists. Color 35mm became the way people told stories with pictures. As the world has gone digital, that original love of storytelling first experienced with color film is still the spark that runs C41 Media. And yes… every once in a blue moon, they still break out their film cameras.

"I want audiences to encounter a radical woman who dedicated her life to a visionary project, but at great personal cost. I hope that Marion’s singular story will emotionally impact people, but I expect that the film will compel people to think critically about the ways in which public opinion is molded by the media and the predilections of the people who produce it." —Matt Wolf, AFI Docs
