Crew

Martin Owen
Writer / Director / Producer

Martin Owen has worked in the industry for over ten years. He initially joined the industry as a performer and made the switch seamlessly to the other side of the camera.

Understanding the process from an actor’s perspective has given Martin a useful advantage as a director; understanding his performer’s needs and how to get the very best from any given individual, has allowed Martin to create strong and lasting relationships with talent.

Martin has a clear identity as a director, creating work with an edgy shot choice and vivid color palette but at no point jeopardizing the narrative. Martin lists his influences as Kubrick and Ridley Scott, and lends comparison to movies of the British New Wave Movement of the 1960’s.

Martin has directed many short films including both award winning, shortlisted and technology driven pieces including the first live action stereoscopic 3D short in the UK.

Martin’s short film success paved the way for the next step in his career working in music videos, idents and commercials.

L.A. Slasher marks Martin’s feature film debut as director.

Martin is currently in post-production on his next film, the science fiction thriller Let’s Be Evil.

He cut his teeth by studying art and photography in Rome. Fascination with Baroque art led him to his magical realism style; a fondness for garish color and Bollywood dance numbers led him to L.A. Slasher’s neon-noir style.
