IndiePix would like to present MARION: A contemporary de-construction of Hitchcock's PSYCHO. Three women play Marion Crane simultaneously on three separate screens. This original piece reinterprets a classic film with contemporary insight. MARION is currently available to university libraries and professors as a teaching tool for classes that examine gender, film history, and film/video techniques. Oberlin College and the University of Illinois at Urbana are just two of many institions that are utilizing this dynamic work in their course curricula. From award-winning filmmaker Ry Russo-Young: "MARION examines each choice that Marion Crane made in PSYCHO that leads to her premature and unconventional death less than half way through the film. If Marion had decided not to steal money from her boss would she have been able to escape the shower attack? MARION offers three variations on the PSYCHO narrative so that we may explore the larger concept of character and narrative conventions in cinema."
