coastal Virginia which screened up and down the east coast. She also recently produced and edited a short dance film called “Boomerang” which screened at the Dance on Camera Festival at Lincoln Center. With a passion for culturally relevant projects, Martha is committed to visual storytelling and
documentary as a medium for creating dialogue, awareness, new relationships and socially important art. She received her MFA in Film from Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2016. She’ll be teaching and running the film studio at Kenyon College starting in the fall of 2017 while continuing to make her own documentary and narrative films.
