Graduating with a degree in film from the School of Film and Photography at Montana State University, Martin moved back to his home town of Portland, Oregon in order to take part in the uprise of industry outside of Los Angeles, eventually landing himself a position as an editor for Daniel Baldwin’s production company and as an employee of Indent Studios.

Nothing is half-fast, nothing produced without regards to the most meticulous of details in order to provide the client with the finest possible product.
