Marius Ehlayil

Marius Ehlayil, born in '93 out in Neunkirchen, Saarland (which, let’s be honest, hardly anyone outside Germany can point to on a map), has been making his mark behind the scenes where it counts. You won’t spot him mugging for the camera, but if you’re into film credits or just love watching how movies get made, his name pops up in some pretty wild places. He’s not just dabbling, the guy’s really been in the thick of it as a producer and production manager, juggling everything from casting chaos to budget headaches—probably running on too much coffee and too little sleep. He’s got some seriously cool titles under his belt, too. Take “The Phoenician Scheme” (set to drop in 2025), which has already been kicking up chatter for blending sharp storytelling with those slick, moody visuals that stick in your head. Before that, he was wrangling the madness of “Berlin Nobody” (2024), a film that dives into the underbelly of Berlin and isn’t afraid to get messy. Oh, and don’t sleep on “Der Boandlkramer und die ewige Liebe” (2021)—that’s the one where he proved he could handle anything, even stories that dance between the absurd and the heartfelt, all set against this quirky Bavarian landscape. So yeah, Marius isn’t just another name in the credits. He’s one of those rare behind-the-scenes folks who actually shape the films you end up obsessing over. Whether it’s gritty city thrillers or weirdly sweet German folklore tales, if he’s on the project, you know the ride’s gonna be a little wilder—and a whole lot more interesting.
