Marcelo grew up and attended film school in Cordoba, Argentina. After producing and directing commercials and music videos, he moved to the U.S. to study at UCLA's School of Theater, Film, and Television. Shortly after completing his Master's degree in screenwriting, he was hired to write "Pretending," the Hollywood remake of a South American film of the same name. Marcelo, whose work includes the script for the European/Canadian film “Dreamland,” is currently working on what will be his feature film debut as a director, "Living and Leaving LA,” and as producer and writer of a number of remake projects of South American films, including the English-language remake of 2009's Berlin Film Festival winner, “Gigante." His work, both in English and Spanish, has been recognized with a British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA/LA) Fellowship, a Sloan Film Award, among others.
