Martín Gustavo Castañeda Yábar received a Royal Reel 2016 Award at the Canada International Film Festival for his first feature length screenplay: "Written by Victors". His film "Box" won Best Experimental Film at the 2015 Oregon International Film Awards.
His first attempt at screenwriting back in 2002 was a novel adaptation. This failed but enriching experience pushed him to obsessively read every screenwriting book that he ran into and to seek formal education as a writer/filmmaker. Since then he has been thinking about films— content in general actually— and ways people find themselves in such content.
Martín is a Peruvian United States Army Combat Veteran, with an MFA in Film from Vermont College of Fine Arts. Currently works at The University of New Mexico as a Multimedia Director and Producer, and Adjunct Faculty in the Film and Digital Media department. He spends most of his time figuring out stories while riding his bike in the mountains, under a forming storm.
First there's emotion. Then meaning is attempted; this is the human condition.
