With over 20 years of production experience, Fatima Martins has produced in virtually all media venues.
From the Off-Road Multi-Camera TORC series to high end commercial beauty, VFX based spots and the occasional Bloody Revolution. Fatima has the experience, contacts and raw problem solving skills to tackle any project.
Fatima's interest in form and design lead her to attain a Master's degree in Architecture and Urban Development at Brazil's exclusive P.U.C.C. From there she accepted a position as a lead Production Designer in Brazil's most popular TV variety series, where she worked directly with the creators to produce and oversee 40 sets a week. She understands that media production is a visual art, derived from story, sound and images. This is why she feels that it is important to look deeply into each project to fully understand the visual goals of the creative team. This level of project care on the core level allows her to interface with every aspect of the production team to enhance the collaboration process efficiently and on budget.
Fatima's extensive multilingual skills and her Dual European citizenship allow her to work in virtually any market. Domestic projects are able to smoothly work overseas for amazing visuals and at low costs.
As a member of the European Union, Fatima has access to incredible resources in 28 countries. From castles in Scotland to the Bogs of Estonia.
Europe's rich artitecture, ancient streets and cities are no match for CGI or backlots.
Having lived in the U.S for half of her life, Fatima has worked on projects from New York to Los Angeles. She has production contacts in key states that allow for smooth production experiences. From the high adventure of motor racing of the South to the fashion and glamor of the East to the offbeat L.A. style of Venice Beach.
