Marilyn's Dark Paradise

SHORT | 20:00

Before the world knew her as a legend, Marilyn Monroe endured a childhood marked by trauma and a career shaped by relentless pressures—yet rose to become a beloved icon, acclaimed actress, and an influential independent producer. As she confronts her past and wrestles with what it means to be "enough," her time-traveling companion faces his own demons—the haunting temptation to rewrite history, even if it means unraveling everything.

Director Biography - Remi Gangarossa

Remi Gangarossa is a filmmaker and finance professional who splits his time between Chicago and Los Angeles, drawn to adventures that blur the line between dream and reality.

A lifelong cinephile, he collects historic movie memorabilia and thrives on projects most would call impossible. His boldest yet: founding the

"Monroe Preservation Group" and leading the successful fight to save Marilyn Monroe’s first and final Brentwood home, now recognized as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.

When he’s not bringing films to life or advancing Monroe’s legacy, Remi indulges another passion: vintage wine. To him, every bottle is a DeLorean in disguise - uncork it, hit 88 miles per hour, and you’re transported straight back to the year on the label.
