Producer & Director
Martina is a British-Irish Producer and Director from Manchester, UK, whose passion for scripted drama has led her to carve a niche for rallying communities in places that cinema tends to overlook. She has worked on a diverse slate of shorts, features and high-end TV dramas, including Spirit Award-winning Pig, The Last Kingdom, My Mad Fat Diary, Curfew, the BAFTA-nominated Mogul Mowgli, and Emmy-winning Man in an Orange Shirt. Martina’s work in production has led her across the globe, including Hong Kong, Greece, Hungary, and now the USA. She is currently living in Los Angeles where she is developing several US- and UK-based projects, as well as writing a short and feature she will direct. As a Producer her mission is to highlight underserved voices, with a particular focus on stories dealing with identity and relationships, especially those with science fiction and magical realist elements.
In 2020 she founded LookBeyondTheList.com, a resources site for systemically underrepresented groups working behind the camera in scripted TV and film.
Martina is a BAFTA US Talent and Inside Pictures alumni. She has worked as a mentor for Film Independent Global Media Makers, SXSW and BAFTA x JFK High School.
