A poster from 2L, a short film by director Marl Boreaux, submitted to Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes 2025.

Hi. I’m MARL BOREAUX.

I’m an independent filmmaker who tells morbidly absurd stories with poetic and metaphorical undertones. My work explores the dark, comedic, and often tragic truths of the human condition, revealing uncomfortable realities through a lens that is both playful and unsettling. I like to balance a style of hopeful curiosity with a sinister edge.

My short film 2L has been submitted to the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, a prestigious showcase for emerging directors with innovative and unique voices. Being part of the lineup would be a remarkable opportunity to share my vision on an international stage.

Here’s a poster for my short film 2L that I wrote, directed, shot, edited and scored.
