Philip Marlatt

Philip Marlatt is an award-winning producer of feature films, music videos, commercials, and series for digital platforms Snap Originals, CryptTV, Defy Media, and Break Media developing popular episodic titles such as Honest Trailers (2012), Prank It Forward (2014), Odd Jobs (2014) and The Screen Junkies Show (2011). In 2019, Marlatt made his directorial debut with the ocean adventure, Dolphin Kick (2019). Made with a micro-budget of $200K, Dolphin Kick became a bigger success than imagined after the indie film was selected by The Washington Post for their spring 2019 article "What to Watch with Your Kids," alongside two high caliber studio films The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) and Arctic (2018). Represented for both domestic and international sales by Epic Pictures Group and sold at Cannes, Berlin, and AFM, the family movie about a unique friendship between a boy and a dolphin was released through Lionsgate in the US and is now available on Netflix and all VOD platforms worldwide. Marlatt has produced 15 narrative features in an array of genres. Marlatt's coming-of-age teen melodrama, The Age of Reason (2014), one of many collaborations with Andrew Schrader and Jordan Harris, saw a well-received festival tour through 2015 winning 11 awards in various categories including many for best feature and the audience choice award, leading to an exclusive deal with Hulu where it remains available today. Marlatt's zombie-parody The Walking Deceased (2015) was the #1 streamed movie on Netflix following its' release in March of 2015. Marlatt developed and produced the sleep paralysis thriller Dead Awake (2016), written by Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick, directed by Phillip Guzman, starring Jocelin Donahue, Jesse Bradford, Brea Grant, and Lori Petty, and was secured for exclusive worldwide rights with FilmRise, releasing in theaters across the United States and Europe and is now available on-demand. In more recent years, Marlatt produced the young adult indie-romance feature with director Shaun Hart titled Stars Are Already Dead (2016) which was shot at Paramount Studios and stars Lea Thompson, Katie Leclerc, and Dora Madison. Marlatt teamed with Kate Freund, Jordan Harris, and Eli Roth, on the mini-series Afterlife (2017), through Roth's horror platform CryptTV and was released on Fullscreen in the days leading up to Halloween of 2017. After an acquisition by Insurrection Media of the popular young adult novel Denton's Death Date (2019), Marlatt produced the adaptation in a vertical series presentation and was released on Snap Originals in October of 2019. Last summer, Marlatt's inspirational sports family film Round of Your Life (2019) was picked up by Ammo Content and opened in select theaters across North America and is now available on all VOD platforms.
