His work outside of advertising includes his 2008 documentary feature with Alicia Keys called Alicia in Africa, for her Keep a Child Alive charitable organization. Additionally, Marinelli has directed several short films and theater projects. His latest short, Subway (2010), was an Official Selection at the New York Filmmakers series and was recently screened at the Los Angeles New Filmmakers series. On the theater side, he is currently directing a staged reading of the classic play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” at the Center Playhouse in Freehold, NJ, this spring.
