German-born and raised, Karl Marx embarked on a remarkable career in theatre, commencing his journey in Stuttgart, Germany, where he spent eight years honing his craft, participating in numerous productions, and laying the groundwork for his future endeavors.
Upon completing his theatrical tenure, Marx transitioned to a writing and producing role, relocating to Berlin, where he became a prominent figure in the city's theatre scene, simultaneously making a name for himself in the film and television industries.
In 2010, Marx took the bold step of founding his own production company, Ente Kross Film, which he co-produced with the feature film Dark Blue Girl in 2017. This cinematic endeavor was showcased at the prestigious International Film Festival in Berlin, marking a significant milestone in Marx's career.
However, it was his work as a co-producer on the romantic comedy Men to Kiss in 2012 that truly catapulted Marx to international recognition. This award-winning film remains in worldwide distribution and was screened at the esteemed San Francisco International Film Festival, a testament to Marx's growing reputation in the industry.
Marx's continued success was solidified with the production of the German short film Das Phallometer in 2013, which earned him a return trip to San Francisco to present the film at the Frameline Film Festival.
In 2017, Marx made the bold decision to relocate to San Francisco, a city that has since become his adopted home. His most recent appearance on the big screen can be seen in the documentary Gay Chorus Deep South, which will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019.
Beyond his work as an actor and producer, Marx has also developed a passion for sharing his knowledge of his adopted city with others, serving as a tour guide and showcasing the unique charm of San Francisco to visitors from around the world.
