She would go on to work with casting directors, Judy Henderson, Suzanne Smith-Crowley, Jessica Kelly, Billy Hopkins and Ann Goulder on projects such as Showtime's Homeland, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, ABC’s Pan Am, The Wolverine, Labor Day, ABC's Zero Hour, Noah, The Maze Runner, NBC's The Blacklist, and HBO's Bessie before returning to Los Angeles in 2014.
In 2015, Marin joined Define American as their Entertainment Media Director. Define American is a nonprofit media and culture organization founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Jose Antonio Vargas, who’s mission is to use the power of storytelling to transcend politics and shift the conversation around immigrants, identity, and citizenship in a changing America. In addition to expanding Define American’s impact in television, film, and entertainment, Marin produced the first annual Define American Film Festival in Des Moines preceding Iowa’s 2016 Presidential Caucuses.
Marin has since opened her own casting office, often partnering with veteran Casting Director, Heidi Levitt. Together, Marin and Heidi cast film, television, theatre and commercial projects. Some of Marin’s credits include American Made, starring Tom Cruise and Domhnall Gleeson, The Last Word, starring Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfried, Kings, starring Halle Berry and Daniel Craig, Bad Samaritan starring David Tennant and Robert Sheehan, Who Will Write Our History, starring Joan Allen and Adrien Brody, and The Roads Not Taken, starring Javier Bardem, Elle Fanning, Laura Linney and Salma Hayek (which premiered in competition at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival) and most recently Raymond and Ray which stars Ewan McGregor, Ethan Hawke, Sophie Okonedo and Maribel Verdú and is set to premier later this year.
