She has composed original soundtracks for Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliche (Sky Arts), Sudden Death: My Sister's Silent Killer (BBC), Such Small Hands (Film4), and forthcoming feature ZERO (BBC Films/ BFI Films). Further projects include Royal Television Society Award winning documentaries, and internationally acclaimed animations and shorts. She has also composed commercially for the likes of Vodafone, Rimmel, Cadburys, and Tesco. A scholar from The National Film and Television School, her practice combines experimental textures with traditional instruments.

Marina is currently a member of the Alliance for Women Film Composers. ‘At once holistic and individual, her techniques are drawn from sound manipulation and electro-acoustic music, as well as more contemporary digital sources... The industry is in need of such original and creative practitioners.’ Peter Howell, BBC Radiophonic Orchestra
