Brad Marlowe

After studying filmmaking at NYU Brad Marlowe went on work as a story analyst for the notorious schlockmeister Roger Corman. After his tenure with Corman Mr. Marlowe wrote and directed his first feature film, AT HOME WITH THE WEBBERS. The quirky dark comedy starred Jennifer Tilly, David Arquette and Jeffrey Tambor. Next Brad penned the sexy thriller, OBJECT OF OBSESSION, while writing a technology (yes, technology) column for Playboy Magazine. WEDNESDAY'S CHILD, Mr. Marlowe's next Indie feature won Best Film at the Austin Film Festival and Brad was awarded Deluxe Lab's Young Filmmaker Award. Brad was then brought in to rework the script and replace the director on SECOND TO DIE, which starred Erica Eleniak, and can bee seen (to Mr. Marlowe's chagrin) from time to time on the Lifetime TV Network.

In stark contrast to his previous narrative fiction films, Mr. Marlowe and his then-wife, Leonor, self-financed GLASS HOUSE, a historical documentary about Colonel Jose Arturo Castellanos and his assistant George Mandel, who saved 50,000 Jews from Auschwitz by issuing certificates of Salvadoran citizenship, thereby facilitating their escape to Switzerland and surrounding countries. GLASS HOUSE premiered at the Los Angeles Latino Film Festival and has since been screened in various film festivals, as well as official presentations in Washington, D.C., Panama, and El Salvador. The Museum of Tolerance, in Los Angeles, presented the film in early 2010.

SLEEPWALKER: THE LAST SANDMAN was Mr. Marlowe's first published novel and it was a long time coming. HOUSE OF DRUMS, the author's second book, is a dark departure from his family-friendly debut novel. The filmmaker-turned-author lives near Los Angeles with his two beautiful sons.
