Marion Abrams
After studies at the Museum School in Boston and a degree in film from NYU's Tisch School, Marion started her film career on PBS specials and NOVA episodes in New York. Her stint on the Frontline show “Who Killed Adam Mann,” a Columbia-Dupont award-winning film on fatal child abuse, convinced her it was time to leave the city. Several moves later (including summers at the International Film and Television Workshops) Marion settled in Vermont to stay.
