What People Are Saying About Warrior Films & Frederick Marx:

Gerry Richman | Station Director, KTCA-TV (PBS)

A major talent in American filmmaking.  All his work is imbued with power, intelligence, social concern, and utter dedication.

Craig Glass | President, Peregrine Ministries International

Frederick is a man of integrity; his word is his bond. He is a man who cares about lives; his stories go beyond entertainment to impact. He is a man of significant creativity; he uses his talent to make a genuine difference in the world.

Ben Singleton | Former U.S. Army Paratrooper and Sniper

My hope is that people who watch [Veterans Journey Home] take away a deeper understanding of the American Veteran, who we are as a collective, and a greater sense of how to speak to us as a population.

Rob Nugen

Thank you Frederick for clarifying a simple solution for just about every wrong in our planet. Backed with multiple lifetimes worth of expert knowledge, Rites to a Good Life presents us an opportunity for getting our world back on track. The work is critical for our survival. Will we do it?

Jack Kornfield | Bestselling American Author

Filled like a banquet with rituals, stories, medicines, quotes and models, recipes for genuine growth and transformation... Rites to a Good Life is a call for us all to reflect on our own personal journey and its place in the culture and cosmos around us.

James Baraz | Co-Author of Awakening Joy: 10 Steps to Happiness

Frederick Marx has written a touchingly intimate account of love, loss and healing. Losing a loved one is something most everyone faces at some point in life. At Death Do Us Part shows the possibility of navigating through this journey with consciousness, understanding and an open heart.

Rachel Saltz | New York Times

Mr. Marx shines a light on a place and a way of life that are rapidly changing.

Ram Dass | Author of Be Here Now

Most people know Frederick Marx from Hoop Dreams, Journey From Zanskar, and other fine films. They probably don't know that he is a longtime student of dharma, an ordained Zen priest, and a gifted writer exploring the terrain of the human heart.

Maxine Hong Kingston | Author of The Woman Warrior

AT DEATH DO US PART is a true love story, on the plane with Joan Didion's YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING and Joyce Carol Oates' A WIDOW'S STORY. Heart-breaking. Heart-healing.

Roshi Joan Halifax  |  Author of Being with Dying

This book is one's man's story of love, loss, and realization; actually it is a story that many of us know or will know. Heartbreaking, beautiful, intimate, challenging... This is a book we should all read.

Phil Tuckett | DocUtah Film Festival Founder

The Steven Spielberg of documentary filmmaking.
