Marisol's independent works, which she wrote, directed and acted in, include two short films. Oh I Get It, a Super 8 comedic short about the uncontrollable, underlying sexual fantasies of men and women, premiered at The Delivery Room Festival of Films and then went on to show at three other local film festivals.

Marisol then went on to serve as editor and post-production supervisor on two independent digital features, the most intensive filmmaking course of her life thus far, and the true beginning for her love for editing.
Marisol would now like to move into the next phase of her filmmaking career. It is her desire to bring to life scripts with her very distinctive perspective and share them with as large an audience as she can hope to reach.
