A multi-award winning writer, producer and director, Jonathan Martin's films have won over 250 festival and industry awards since 2011. He is known for stylish, entertaining, and slickly produced productions with an eye for the fantastic and for bringing to life worlds unseen.

Apart from directing and producing multiple award winning films, he also founded the genre film festival FilmQuest, which has quickly become one of the biggest and internationally recognized genre festivals in the world since its inaugural season in 2014, having been named in 2018 and 2020 as one of MovieMaker Magazine's "30 & 50 Bloody Best Genre Film Festivals on the Planet," as well as twice being named one of its "Top 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee." The festival has become a wellspring of talent and discovery, where genre cinema's future heavyweights are celebrated and connected to one another in such a way that has created a unique and exciting community in and of itself.

Founding his production company, Bohemian Industries in 2010, his filmmaking origins began with documentary and videography work before he moved onto narrative filmmaking with his first short film "An Evening with My Comatose Mother," which premiered in April, 2011. "Comatose" would go on to become the most awarded horror short film of all-time, a record it held for five years, winning 76 festival and industry awards while playing over 100 film festivals during its run.

Jonathan followed up "Comatose" with music videos, commercials, and two more short films that saw him delve further into genre filmmaking with his sci-fi music videos "Electric Light" (2012) and "Gravity" (2020), the romantic fantasy music video "I'll Always Be Young" (2013), and the horror videos "Demons" (2018, based in the Comatose Mother universe) and "My Eternity" (2016). He would also make the Doug Jones starring dark fantasy short "Kiss the Devil in the Dark" (2018) based upon an original concept he created with his sister, Rebecca Martin (XIX), that won over 50 awards on the festival circuit. He would also collaborate with Rebecca again to create the Gothic horror throwback short film, "Creatures of Whitechapel" (2016), itself surpassing the success of "Comatose" as the winner of 87 festival and industry awards that World Premiered in Oscar-qualifying competition at the world renowned Sitges Film Festival.
