'GLOW' fame Marianna Palka Bags New Direction Project in 'Collection'

Actress and director, Marianna Palka might just be fresh off immense popularity with her stint in the Netflix female wrestling drama, GLOW but the lady is now all set to go behind the camera for an upcoming drama.

Palka has been tapped to direct Collection, that is set to be in production late October in Birmingham, Alabama, with Warner Davis producing. Collection tells the story of a grieving father who grapples with the seedy, manipulative world of high stakes debt collection while struggling to shed the tragedies of his past. In the midst of this, he finds himself pitted against his best friend, his prodigy and his love.

Palka's previous turn as director was Egg, starring Christina Hendricks and Anna Camp, which premiered at Tribeca in 2018 to solid reviews. Prior to that, she wrote, directed and starred in Bitch, starring alongside Jason Ritter and Jaime King, which premiered at Sundance in 2017 and was based on a story by R.D.Laing about a mother acting like a dog after a psychotic break. Her feature debut came in 2008 with the well-received Good Dick, which debuted in Sundance's dramatic competition in 2008.
