Bruno Marino

Bruno Marino’s basically a powerhouse in the film game—no exaggeration. The guy’s racked up awards, but, honestly, his resume reads like a who’s-who of producers. He’s a member of the Producers Guild of America and runs with the Canadian Media Producers Association and the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. That’s some serious industry cred. He’s got over 60 films under his belt—yeah, sixty. Not everyone can say that. One of the big ones? Gridlocked. You might’ve caught it on Netflix, or, well, anywhere, since it dropped in like 150 countries. The cast is stacked: Dominic Purcell, Danny Glover, Stephen Lang, Vinnie Jones, Trish Stratus… it’s basically an action fan’s fever dream. Lately, he’s been behind Fight Another Day, pulling in Jim Belushi, Martin Kove, Christina Ochoa, and a bunch of UFC legends like Ken Shamrock and Chuck Liddell. Wild, right? And that Uncharted fan film with Nathan Fillion? That thing blew up online—14 million views, just like that. Bruno’s also produced Tapped Out with Michael Biehn and UFC’s Anderson Silva, and that one got picked up by Lionsgate, so you know it’s legit. He’s not just producing, either. He’s executive produced stuff like The Sound—Rose McGowan and Christopher Lloyd are in that one—and Black Water with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. Money Plane? Kelsey Grammer, Adam Copeland, Thomas Jane, Denise Richards… seriously, it’s like he’s collecting action stars. His films have landed at festivals all over and actually won over 10 Best Feature awards. All this happens under his company, High Star Entertainment, which cranks out content for both local and global audiences. The guy doesn’t stop.
