CineMarch Media
"Revolutionary Ideas in Motion"
Welcome!
Who We Are
CineMarch Media is a multimedia company creating socially conscious, critically engaged content that challenges dominant narratives and uplifts marginalized voices. We believe culture is a battleground for truth and liberation—not just entertainment. Through podcasts, film, and performance, we connect creators and audiences who value radical honesty, artistic labor, and collective ownership. We're not just telling stories—we're building a movement.
Our work centers around two flagship podcasts:
The Marching Revolution explores the past, present, and future of the marching arts through a radical lens, asking hard questions about labor, access, and artistic integrity in band, drum corps, and beyond.
Marxists at the Movies dissects film and pop culture with sharp leftist analysis, uncovering the hidden politics in everything from cult classics to mainstream blockbusters. Together, they speak to the power of art as both expression and resistance.
**AI USAGE STATEMENT** CineMarch Media openly uses AI tools to assist with content generation, including original articles, podcast scripts, some artwork, theme music, business advising, organizational assistance, and code development. These tools are vital to our operation as a disabled, neurodivergent creator doing the work of ten people alone.
We view AI not as a replacement for artists, but as a tool to amplify marginalized voices, democratize access to storytelling, and challenge gatekeeping in media production. All editorial decisions remain fully human—rooted in lived experience, political clarity, and revolutionary intent.
About The Founder
Edward Michael Francis (they / them / theirs) is a writer, designer, and media producer who’s spent over two decades in the marching arts and a lifetime interrogating power through storytelling. As a queer, autistic creator and cult survivor, Edward brings a unique lens to every project—one that is unflinchingly honest, politically engaged, and deeply human.
Through CineMarch Media, they channel their experience into work that challenges institutional norms, reclaims joy, and invites others to think critically about the culture we consume. Whether dissecting film through a Marxist lens or exposing injustice in the marching world, Edward isn’t here to entertain the powerful. They’re here to empower the rest of us.
Meet Myron
Treats and Pets Procurement
Myron Rosander Francis (they / them / theirs) is an orange-and-white tabby with a revolutionary spirit and a tail that just won’t quit. They are named for famed marching drill designer Myron Rosander. Found in a parking lot in Paducah, Kentucky, Myron chose Edward as their human—and the rest is history. Myron oversees all podcast production with gentle purrs, occasional leg attacks, and deeply judgmental stares when audio gets too chaotic.
They've got strong opinions about marching arts, prefers soft singing over loud belting, and considers themselves a survivor and a healer—just like their human. Myron is more than a pet. They're a co-stray turned co-star. A symbol of resilience. A reminder that home is something we build, not something we’re handed. Also, they hate sneezes. Don’t even try.
The Marching Revolution
“Reflecting stories, struggles, and the radical possibilities of the marching arts.”
LISTEN NOW
The Marching Revolution is a podcast dedicated to amplifying the untold stories and powerful voices within the world of marching arts. Rooted in the belief that performance can be political, we explore the struggles, lived experiences, and radical potential of artists, educators, and performers in this space. Our mission is to reflect the depth and diversity of the marching community — not just its technical achievements, but its human stories, social tensions, and revolutionary possibilities.
