Screen Ireland has appointed Greg Martin to the new role of project manager for feature film.
Martin joins the recently expanded production and development team within Screen Ireland and will work across Screen Ireland-supported feature film and documentary projects, throughout production, financing and market exploitation.
Previously Martin spent six years working in acquisitions and distribution for international financing outfit Embankment Films.
While at Embankment, Martin worked on films such as Florian Zeller’s The Son and The Father, Frances O’Connor’s Emily and Guy Nattiv’s Golda.
Recent Irish film acquisitions for Embankment have been Thaddeus O’Sullivan’s The Miracle Club, Emer Reynolds’ Joyride, and Lisa Mulcahy’s Lies We Tell.
Prior to Embankment, Martin worked in development and production, including films for Working Title such as Bridget Jones’s Baby, Darkest Hour and The Danish Girl.
Désirée Finnegan, chief executive of Screen Ireland, said: “Greg’s experience in acquisitions and distribution brings a valuable perspective on the international marketplace. He joins Screen Ireland at an exciting time as we continue to support Irish cinema, investing in emerging and established talent across all areas of the creative screen industry.”
Martin said: “I look forward to joining Screen Ireland, supporting the work of world-class storytellers - those well-established, those starting out, and those soon to be celebrated.”
“Greg’s career development made a significant contribution to our teamwork and delivery of emotive and high quality storytelling,” said Embankment Films co-founder Tim Haslam. ”We are wholly thankful to Greg and celebrate his joining the Screen Ireland team, and anticipate many future initiatives together.”
Martin will start with Screen Ireland on October 3.
