Hi, I’m Lu Martínez. I’m a screenwriter and narrative development specialist focused on documentary storytelling. I collaborate with directors to shape story arcs, refine structure, and ensure coherence across production stages, blending research-driven storytelling with feedback-driven process. I also lead workshops and provide remote script consulting to help teams translate complex ideas into engaging, character-driven narratives. Over the years I’ve contributed to feature-length documentaries shown at international festivals and industry platforms such as IDFA and Cannes Docs contexts. I continue to work remotely, offering script consultation, narrative development, and feedback sessions for independent projects, while mentoring writers and journalists through research-based storytelling.
