The next neighbour was the rough North Sea. Telling stories became his greatest hobby. Unfortunately were there only a few sheep who would listen to him.
With 16 he saw a camera for the first time. Even though he was not allowed to touch it he was fascinated by it and realized instantly the possibilities. Since then he did everything to learn as much as he can about filmmaking.
Martn joined the Mallorca Film Academy in April 2004 for a 7 week workshop and wrote, directed and produced his first short film “dos cortados por favor” during the time at the MFA.
