Marx’s other recent projects include the FX docuseries Children of the Underground, which just premiered earlier this month. She has also recently scored the thriller Sanctuary directed by Zachary Wigon and starring Margaret Qualley and Christopher Abbott. The movie, which follows a heir to a hotel empire and the dominatrix who has primed him for success, will premiere next month at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.
