Joaquin Martinez

Independent producer/director of photography/editor handling concept development, consulting, scripting, interview direction, producing, shooting, editing, color, audio (Fairlight), motion, and multi-platform delivery. Films recurring church content (student interviews, story packages, event and social cuts) and produces multicamera educational series by reshaping long teaching sessions into clear lessons. Experienced working with families and sensitive subjects with discretion and care; supports vertical short-form, captions, and delivers in various formats.

Edited and shot a branded documentary series following elite runner Joe Greer through an injury crisis ahead of the Copenhagen Marathon, structuring a multi-day narrative from unscripted footage into a compelling, emotionally driven story arc. Managed the complete post-production workflow independently: selects, assembly cut, fine cut, color grade, and final delivery for digital distribution.

Led editorial and cinematography for the Legacy Film (30–40 minutes), a cross-continental documentary produced across Texas, Italy, and Mozambique, focusing on children from underserved communities and the organizations serving them. Produced and edited the Melina story, portraying personal transformation from poverty to school principal through on-location footage. Managed the full editorial pipeline: organization, rough assembly, interview string-outs, narrative structure, color grading, sound sync, and final delivery for social and broadcast platforms. Filmed in high-sensitivity, access-restricted environments with discretion and care. Collaborated with the Film & Programming Director on editorial strategy, pacing, and storytelling for a multi-campus audience.
