Eddie Martin

Since completing studies in film, EDDIE MARTIN has been working on the development of several personal projects, both documentary and narrative. The first of these projects was a one-hour documentary 'Jisoe' which was made with the support of Ghost pictures in Melbourne. Completed in 2004 'Jisoe' was selected to screen at several festivals around the world to great critical acclaim.

'In my opinion it's one of the best, most significant documentaries to be produced in Australia of recent years.' - Megan Spencer, Film Critic SBS, Triple J.

Eddie teamed up with producer Lizzette Atkins (Night), the highly experienced editor Ken Sallows (Chopper, Malcolm), and leading Australian film composer Cezary Skubiszewski (Death Defying Acts and Two Hands) for the production of LIONEL.

'It's rare on the Australian landscape to see documentaries with such a cinematic and tactile quality - It really is an excellent and important work.' - Richard Sowada, Head of Programming - ACMI.
