My Story - Zachary James Martinez is a cinematographer and photographer based out of Houston, TX. His first loves were classic rock, surfing, and skateboarding; eventually giving way to theology, photography, writing, and cinematic storytelling as he got older. He spent his first 5 years out of college organizing and building communities within immigrant and low-income student circles as a youth minister – organizations which still stand to this day. No matter what his full-time occupation, he has always found ways to incorporate his creative gifts, resulting in a portfolio featuring short films, music videos, international documentaries, as well as promotional material. Having now moved into full-time video production, he is interested in any opportunity to step into greater, wider circles of collaborators looking to make something true and beautiful. https://www.zacharyjamesmartinez.com/reels daily 0.75 2019-12-12 https://www.zacharyjamesmartinez.com/motionpicture daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df133571da5a5795eeb5f31/c4db8abb-8bb1-4966-b3d0-1a28f7cb2b87/IMG_6397+2.jpg Motion Picture 2025 Cinematography Reel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df133571da5a5795eeb5f31/075aa494-14a3-4325-a813-cd6f96472e62/IMG_8285.JPG Motion Picture In collaboration with the Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture in Chicago, playwright Jacob Grothe, and director Emma St. Kathryn share in this mini documentary what it is like to open a show so invested in the brutal beauty of our humanity.
