Camila Martins began her directing career with the award-winning short documentary Chains. Born and raised in Brazil, Martins 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 Martin Scorcese and Mark Romanek. She 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. Currently, she is working on a web series about the LA Junior Derby Dolls, projects for nonprofit organizations like the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and OR DIE TRYING, her first narrative project. Martins also directs multiple cross-platform projects under the helm of the directing team 2Fridas.
It's always been clear to me that OR DIE TRYING is a story about passion and being true to yourself. Like the characters in the series, I too sacrificed so much to move to LA and turn my passion for film and storytelling into my life’s work. Directing OR DIE TRYING is like a full circle; where this dream of mine is now a reality and I can bring so much of my own experience to the table when giving life to these pages that Myah [Hollis] so skillfully penned.
