A good film producer hires the right personnel and makes sure the production doesn’t go over budget. A great film producer does that and supports talented new voices. You could say that Kyle Martin appears to often be at the right place at the right time. In a very short time frame, he has supported a talented batch of skilled folk such as: Jody Lee Lipes (NY Export: Opus Jazz – see pic), Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture) and is currently developing Bluebird alongside filmmaker Lance Edmands.
A 2007 graduate from NYU’s Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television in 2007, before getting into producing strictly indie and doc films, Martin oversaw television spots and online branding. His first producer cred was by way of 2007 shot film Blue Dress, while his first pair of doc features came with Matt Wolf’s Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell and Lipes’ Brock Enright: Good Times Will Never Be The Same. Currently on tap he’ll be working with Wolf again on Teenage – an adaptation of Jon Savage’s 2007 (which looks back at about 80 years of youth culture) – but the film will focus on the pre blue jeans era/before the 50’s.
