Jeff Malmberg is a director whose debut documentary film Marwencol has won over 20 awards, including two Independent Spirit Awards, Best Documentary of the Year from Boston Society of Film Critics and Rotten Tomatoes, and the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival. The film was released theatrically through the Cinema Guild and broadcast around the world. The Los Angeles Times calls Marwencol “an exhilarating, utterly unique experience” while the Village Voice says that the film is “exactly the sort of mysterious and almost holy experience you hope to get from documentaries and rarely do.” He is currently working on his second film with partner Chris Shellen through their production company, Open Face.
