Martin Hill
Director, Producer & Story Finder
I started Autumn Films, an independent film production company, in 2017 after a 15-year career as a commercial photographer. Prior to that, I spent 10 years of my life serving Queen and Country with the Royal Marines. Something I’m still very proud of.
Mid 2016 was a watershed moment for me, where I knew I wanted to move in a direction from photography to filmmaking but didn’t know how to go about it. A chance FaceTime call with an old pal took me on a journey of storytelling and filmmaking!
Plucking up the courage and a real desire for adventure, I started a 4-month film school course with the US-based film production company Muse Storytelling. Based in Portland, Oregon it meant time away from the family at times but did change everything. These guys really gave me the confidence to explore my filmmaking ability. Have the power not to be afraid to fail (as long as you learn) and above all go out there to make amazing films that make a real difference.
At Autumn Films we work in small teams and sometimes I work alone depending on the size of the project. For larger projects, I use a bank of dedicated professionals, all under the guidance and brief of Autumn Films.
