I am Julián Martínez.

I’m a cinematographer and storyteller based in Los Angeles, filming everything from stylized run-n-gun to beautifully-lit multi-camera sit-down interviews. 

I’m excited for the release in 2026 on Hulu/Disney+ of my documentary feature "Finding Mango: To Live and Die on Skid Row" (2026).

I've traveled the world filming for ABC Network News and other major outlets, from tracking volcanic lava flows on the Big Island of Hawai’i to camping in 40-below Arctic temperatures to board a U.S. Navy nuclear submarine. My work also includes directing full production crews for filming in-depth interviews with high-profile celebrities.

I’m also passionate about giving back through pro bono filming for the incredible Silverlake Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles.

My favorite work is telling stories that often go overlooked, blending shoe-leather journalism with compelling visual storytelling to bring important narratives to light.
