She wrote, directed and starred in Good Dick which was in Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008. Marianna was the youngest director at the festival that year. Good Dick was the first screenplay she had ever written.

Good Dick was self released in the US to much success in 2009 by Palka and her co-producers, Jason Ritter, Jen Dubin and Cora Olson. Additional film roles include the lead in a Texan Hitchcock-like thriller RESTIVE by director Jeremiah Jones and Peter Mullan's film NEDS, which is the first film in which Palka has a Scottish accent.
