Beyond Fox Rothschild
Marc's practice is bolstered by his personal involvement in the entertainment industry. He is an award-winning filmmaker who has produced the feature documentary "After Innocence" (2005), directed and produced "Nursery University" (2009) and "Unraveled" (2012), and executive produced "The Eagle Huntress."
Marc developed, wrote and produced "After Innocence," which won the Special Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and was short-listed for Best Documentary Feature at the 78th Academy Awards. The feature-length film tells the stories of wrongly convicted men who spent decades in prison before the Innocence Project took up their cases and DNA tests proved their innocence. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, it chronicles their efforts to rejoin society.
During law school, Marc was a member of the Cardozo Arts and Entertainment Law Journal.
A frequent lecturer, Marc has spoken before the New York City and County Bar Associations, University of Pennsylvania Law School, Tufts University, Lafayette University, William and Mary School of Law, New York University and Kean University, among many others.
