Almost 20 years of graphic design, advertising, marketing and
audiovisual experience. An award-winning, self-employed "creative
communications consultant," Martin produces marketing collateral
in print and broadcast media for national clients. A native
of Indianapolis, Martin resides with his wife in Mishawaka,
Indiana.
Escape Route Flix, LLC was created with partner John Brune
as a means to produce stories that others have not considered.
"Why Sturgis?" is their first collaboration in documentary
and full length feature production.
Martin is currently lining up future documentary and fiction
projects to follow up the successful "Why Sturgis?"
documentary. (Consider it pre-pre-production!)
"Why Sturgis?" is a blueprint for the kind of storytelling
that Martin and John would like to continue. Stories that may
have been overlooked because you think you know the outcome.
Stories from America's heartland that refute misconceptions
of "flyover country." Stories only discovered by leaving
the main highways and instead visit the back roads of America.
"When you re-examine everyday situations, and view them
differently from the normal cliches, you create your own Escape
Route."
