Biography
Marie Schuller

Marie Schuller is a Barcelona based film director and photographer specializing in fashion, beauty and advertising content.

Her work shines with a unique blend of humor, absurdity, and a distinctive visual style. With a keen eye for casting, styling, tone, and pacing, she effortlessly crafts cohesive worlds that captivate audiences. A closer look at Marie's portfolio reveals films that forge intimate connections with viewers, breaking down the barriers often found in traditional advertising. Her work is irreverent, playful, and visually striking, setting new standards for brand desirability. Marie's direction has earned her numerous accolades, including awards from ASVOFF, AFFA, and Fashion Film Festivals in Milan, Berlin, Santiago de Chile, and Chicago. In the parallel universe of photography, Marie’s stills have graced the covers of fashion publications including Numero, Vogue, King Kong, L’Officiel, and Elle.

Marie was raised in Germany and moved to England as a Teenager, where she studied filmmaking at the National Film and Television School before completing her MA in Photography at the University of the Arts London.

After six years as the Head of Fashion at Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio, Marie started exploring her own practice and quickly found her own style although she claims to it having taken 100 films to gain full confidence in communicating via the medium of film.

She made a rule for herself to never cut unless the cut was needed, a rule that encouraged her to move away from heavy postproduction and become more raw and intimate in her work. The result are films which engage with the viewer on an almost personal level radically shortening the distance that more traditional commercial advertising unwittingly puts between the product and the audience.
