Marianne Williams

Marianne is a cinematographer based in Los Angeles, CA who is a dual citizen of the US and Italy. As a girl growing up in the American Midwest she discovered photography and magic, these tools helped her survive  high school years spent in a cookie cutter suburb of Kansas City.  These days her magic lays in storytelling; a shot is a spell and you need the perfect combination of ingredients for it to work properly.  Marianne holds an MFA in Cinematography from the AFI Conservatory where she began her practice of shooting 16mm and 35mm motion picture film. Collaborative and thoughtful, she creates a unique world for each project and employs a natural, artful approach to VFX and SFX.  In her free time, Marianne enjoys exploring Mauritius, where she spends part of the year with her partner, medium format photography and shooting experimental films on her Super8mm camera. She volunteers as the West Coast/US events coordinator for the ICF+C and is represented by Alexa Lopez at APA Agency.
