About me
Martha’s experience span broadly across video production, documentary filmmaking and journalism. Her expertise lie in the ability to turn any niche subject or abstract concept into a story. Including digesting large academic or weighty material into concise narratives, writing scripts, editing footage into punchy compelling short videos. Her journalistic instinct means persistently looking to “find the story” building rapport with video subjects and using unique interview techniques.
