Marian is an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional and passionate, she is the type of colleague you look forward to collaborating with.”
-Chance Hartman

In the twenty years I’ve been composing music for movies, Marian is one of my favorite people to collaborate with. Her fire and passion for film is consistent with my own which makes my job so rewarding. There are a few people in the business whom I would drop anything to work with again, and Marian is certainly one of those people.”

From the audition to the first day of shooting, Marian had a relaxed manner with the actors, really putting us at ease. Her infectious fun personality made for a wonderful atmosphere on set as well, cast and crew alike had a great time. She has a clear vision of what she wants or needs for the project… I’d love to work with her again!”

I had a brief opportunity to work with Marian and I was completely at ease with her. One thing I observed is that her leadership kept everyone on task, happy, and willing to go even farther than their jobs required. I’ve been on many sets, hers was definitely top shelf.”

I have worked with Marian Yeager on several projects both as an actor and a production assistant. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that her work ethic is impeccable.
Her set is always very organized and she communicates well with everyone that she works with. In addition to that she cares about each person on the set and is always very upbeat and positive.

Co-writing with Marian on The Conway Curve was a truly enjoyable collaboration. But watching her in action on set, showcased a relentless passion to ensure her vision was perfectly translated on screen.”

I have known Marian Yeager as both a Director and friend for more than 20 years. There are two words that come to mind when I think about her, dedication and positivity. Marian never gave up on her goal to be a director. Today, all of her hard work has paid off. Marian’s ability to tell entertaining stories is only topped

by her dedication to her family and friends.”
I’ve known Marian since film school. Our mutual passion for the creative side of making movies has created a friendship lasting many years. Over those years her passion has never wavered despite the odds. Her ability to squeeze a dime into a pizza tray yet maintain the quality of her 1st production The Conway Curve is a testimonial to this and I look forward to seeing what she sets her hand to next.”
-Ken Kirzinger, Actor / Stunt Coordinator
As a veteran of MY Productions, I have to say that I always felt well taken care of by this young female filmmaker! I loved watching Marian and sister Elizabeth work together as a well-oiled machine. There is a tradition of sibling filmmakers (the Coens, the Farrelly brothers, and, more locally, the Zellners), but the Yeager sisters are unique! Long may they film!”
