Philip J. Marshall joined Maryland Public Television in 2006 as executive producer, National Productions. He creates, develops, produces and directs a wide variety of productions for national public television release.

Mr. Marshall’s latest project, F.S. Key After the Song , is the result of nearly six years of research, writing, producing, directing, and editing. The three-part docu-drama series -- released for national broadcast by American Public Television -- is the second half of a documentary he produced in 2014 about Francis Scott Key's early history and his writing of our national anthem. Key, in this program, is shown as a constitutional lawyer immersed in the issue of slavery. The film highlights how events of the 1830’s are extraordinarily similar to today's political and social issues.

Mr. Marshall previously served as a producer and director of historical segments for a three-hour national live Great Performances concert on PBS – Star-Spangled Spectacular – hosted by John Lithgow and featuring performers including Kristin Chenoweth, Kenny Rogers, Melissa Etheridge, Smokey Robinson, Train, and Little Big Town, who came together to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the writing of the national anthem.

Mr. Marshall also produced and directed a public television special on Irish music and its development in America called The Music of Ireland. Working with Moya Brennan, of the Irish super-group Clannad, he interviewed more than 40 top Irish artists and celebrities including Bono, Sinéad O’Connor, and Liam Clancy in his final interview. The film earned an Emmy® for best cultural documentary and was voted audience favorite at the Park City Music Festival.

Mr. Marshall is best known in public television for his work on NYTV: By the People Who Made It, a program celebrating and exploring the first 50 years of New York television and its effects on American society. Hosted by Al Roker and Walter Cronkite, the program had more than 60 major celebrity participants. It was nominated for nine Emmy Awards and earned four awards.

Mr. Marshall served as official documentarian of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City. He and his MPT crew filmed more than 150 hours of footage documenting the three-year restoration process the museum undertook from 2007 to 2009. The extensive filming resulted in a program for the History Channel series Mega-Movers, titled Intrepid: On the Move. He is continuing development of a two-hour pubic television special on 40 years of American foreign policy as seen through the missions of the ship and its crew.

Earlier, Mr. Marshall created Concorde Alpha-Delta: An Intrepid Journey, a history of the Concorde aircraft and the story of the final journey of one of the aircraft to the Intrepid Museum.

Mr. Marshall started in the educational film industry and in 1986, while at Phoenix Films, developed and was executive in charge of production on a film titled Molly’s Pilgrim, which earned an Oscar for Best Short Subject.

Listed in Lexington’s Who’s Who in Media, Mr. Marshall has extensive experience as an executive producer, senior producer, and film and tape editor, is considered an expert in digital production techniques, and is a member of the Directors Guild of America (DGA).
