Biography
Multi-GRAMMY Award winners Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer tackle the topic of Marcy’s breast cancer with wit, wisdom, and advocacy for the many cancer patients and caregivers out there. From DIY fundraising to an Emmy Award-winning production team to over 20 awards and laurels, the world release of ALL WIGGED OUT begins on May 16, 2023 (streaming and DVD), with a Silver Spring, Maryland Premiere (hometown) on April 27 raising funds for Hope Connections for Cancer.
All Wigged Out utilizes musical mastery and eclectic wit, storytelling, and comedy to share Marcy’s first-hand experiences with breast cancer. Starting with
a funky mammogram in June 2015 and ending shortly after her last chemo pill in spring of 2021, the film traces Marcy’s transition into and out of cancer treatment and recovery, going from an award-winning virtuosic musician to an artist struggling with chemo-induced neuropathy and landing her back on a path to touring again.
Let’s TALK about Cancer, which the American Cancer Society says will effect 1 in 2 people in the US by 2030. Let’s talk about merging music, playwriting, art and advocacy. ALL WIGGED OUT goes beyond entertainment. It has been screened by the American Nurses Association, Rainbow Chamber of Commerce of the Silicon Valley, North Carolina Museum of Art. It won the Cannes Best Health Film Award.
