Philip Marlatt is a multi-talented and award-winning producer of feature films and a line producer and production manager of television and digital episodic series titles for several prominent networks and platforms. His impressive resume includes developing popular episodic titles such as Honest Trailers, Prank It Forward, Mysteries Decoded, Odd Jobs, and The Screen Junkies Show.
In 2019, Marlatt made his directorial debut with the ocean adventure film Dolphin Kick, which was made on a micro-budget of $200,000.

Represented by Epic Pictures Group for domestic and international sales, the film was released through Lionsgate in the US and is now available on Netflix and all VOD platforms worldwide.
Marlatt has produced 15 narrative features across various genres, including the coming-of-age teen melodrama The Age of Reason, which won 11 awards and was released exclusively on Hulu. His zombie-parody The Walking Deceased was the #1 streamed movie on Netflix following its release in March 2015. Marlatt also developed and produced the sleep paralysis thriller Dead Awake, which was secured for exclusive worldwide rights with FilmRise and released in theaters across the US and Europe.
In recent years, Marlatt has produced the young adult indie-romance feature Stars Are Already Dead, which was shot at Paramount Studios and stars Lea Thompson, Katie Leclerc, and Dora Madison. He also teamed with Kate Freund, Jordan Harris, and Eli Roth on the mini-series Afterlife, which was released on Fullscreen in the days leading up to Halloween 2017. Marlatt's latest projects include the adaptation of the popular young adult novel Denton's Death Date, which was released on Snap Originals in October 2019, and the inspirational sports family film Round of Your Life, which was picked up by Ammo Content and opened in select theaters across North America.
