Camila Martins began her directing career with an award-winning short documentary entitled Chains – a look at the history of hip-hop from its Jamaican roots to the streets of the Bronx. Born and raised in Brazil, Camila is now based in Los Angeles, where she worked extensively in TV commercial production for clients such as Gatorade, Coca-Cola, and McDonald’s with directors like Floria Sigismondi and Mark Romanek. Martins has been a part of prestigious filmmaking programs such as Film Independent’s Project: Involve, Tribeca Film Institute’s Tribeca All Access, and Tribeca All Access On Track with her documentary project Fallen.
Always driven by her passion for story-telling, Camila is currently dedicating herself to various projects which include a webseries about the LA Junior Derby Dolls and productions for non-profit organizations like the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Most recently, Camila wrapped production on her first narrative project: an 8-episode series titled Or Die Trying about four ambitious women's attempt to achieve their own definition of success, while dealing with the struggles of being a millennial in Hollywood.
Merging her passion for story telling with her documentary background, Camila’s branded work includes pieces for clients like Froot Loops and Red Bull.
