Philip Marlatt
- Line Producer
Philip Marlatt is a producer, line producer, and production manager whose career spans independent feature films, scripted and nonfiction television, digital media, and multicamera studio productions. Marlatt has produced eighteen feature films and hundreds of episodes of television and digital programming, building productions from the ground up while navigating the creative and logistical challenges of independent filmmaking and television production.
Marlatt began his career producing independent narrative features across a wide range of genres, from horror and comedy to drama and family films. Working primarily as a producer and line producer, his films have earned festival recognition and worldwide distribution through platforms including Netflix, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Roku, FilmRise, Tubi, Google Play, and Fandango.
Among his feature credits are Dead Awake (2016), written by Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick and starring Jocelin Donahue, Jesse Bradford, Brea Grant, and Lori Petty; The Walking Deceased (2015), which became Netflix's number one streamed film following its release; The Age of Reason (2014), recipient of eleven festival awards; and Dolphin Kick (2019), which Marlatt also directed. Produced for approximately $200,000, Dolphin Kick exceeded expectations after being featured by The Washington Post as one of its recommended family films alongside major studio releases before securing worldwide distribution.
As streaming platforms and digital media reshaped the entertainment industry, Marlatt expanded into television and premium digital content. His digital producing credits include popular franchises such as Honest Trailers (2012), Prank It Forward (2014), Mysteries Decoded (2019), Odd Jobs (2014) and The Screen Junkies Show (2011). Marlatt teamed with Kate Freund, Jordan Harris, and Eli Roth, on the mini-series Afterlife (2017), through Roth's horror platform CryptTV.
Marlatt later broadened his focus to large scale television production. At Generation Genius, he oversaw physical production across four multicamera mathematics and science series comprising 172 episodes. More recently, he has led production operations with Morningstar Entertainment on Mysteries Decoded (2019) for The CW and the INSP original series Wild West Chronicles (2020) and Elkhorn (2024), a historical drama chronicling the early life of Theodore Roosevelt.
Rather than specializing in a single format or genre, Marlatt's career has been defined by an ability to move between feature films, scripted television, digital media, and emerging content platforms while adapting to the unique demands of each production. Whether producing an independent feature, overseeing a large scale television series, or helping launch new forms of digital storytelling, his work has remained centered on the collaborative process of bringing stories from concept to completion.
