James Martin

I'm a lifelong (nearly) writer of poetry who now wants to film poems, so to speak. That is, I want to take what I have learned about poetry and fold it into filmmaking, especially art films. My primary art cinema inspirations are folks like Godfrey Reggio and Ron Fricke, though I will go in directions neither of these guys ever did.

I'm a co-founder of the emerging Whale Light Films in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Our plan, initially, is to make short art and documentary films. Maybe a feature or two down the road.
