FILM INSPIRE DESIRE

Martin Marko FILMS

Writer/director/DP

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new" -Socrates

Welcome to my page, my name is Martin Marko and I am a writer/director responsible for short films like Last Lunar and Jackpot Symphony or commercials like Feel The Comfort or Bonbon Spot.

Bonbon Spot

COMMERCIAL

Writer/Director/DP

Play Video

Sella Spot

COMMERCIAL

Writer/Director/DP

Play Video

It’s all about the sensual act of choosing a new sofa for your cozy home. You won’t decide before you can sit on it, before you can touch it. Before you can feel the comfort and love.

Jackpot Symphony

SHORT FILM

Writer/Director

A short film about a pianist struggling to buy his daughter a present on Christmas Eve when he is approached by a mysterious and wealthy man.

Reas

COMMERCIAL

Writer/Director

This was a nice and well-prepared project promoting Reas. A company offering their services in the real estate market. We worked with the talented actress Bára Chybová who did a great job just as the whole team.

Kinsfolk

MUSIC VIDEO

Writer/Director/DP

A music video I made with Lenka Gmitrova (lenkagmitro.com) for the band Kinsfolk. It involved a rich writing process where we got references and ideas together and then produced this nuances-packed music video full of intriguing locations in Prague, Czech Republic, and old 90s wedding footage scanned off of old VHS tapes.

Feel The Comfort

COMMERCIAL

Writer/Director/DP

A commercial video for the furniture company Domark. The message came from the idea that the most comfortable way to accomplish something isn’t necessarily always the best way. Sometimes a little struggle can go a long way. The name of the video became the new slogan of the company so in that instance, and many others, this turned out to be a successful endeavor.

Salsita

BRAND VIDEO

Post-Production Director/ VFX Artist

Salsita Software asked us to create a brand video which would represent the spirit of their company. This video involved a lot of planning and VFX. The video was produced by Silencio FX, post-production company.

LOVEVEM ft. Chili Ta

MUSIC/DANCE VIDEO

Co-Director, Director of Photography

It was a more spontaneous project I did for the influencer Chili Ta and the rapper LOVEVEM. It was cold, it was dark, we bought coffee, and the amazing Chili started dancing to the LOVEVEM’s song, while I was circling around with the camera. The whole project was co-directed by Ondrej Bojo and edited by Lenka Gmitrova.

Mc Donald’s

SOCIALS

Director of Photography

Commercial skits for McDonald’s CZ/SK YouTube Channel. I was a DoP on those. It’s an entertainment channel focused on debunking McDonald’s myths and showing the true side of the franchise. The videos are carried by two talented moderators guiding its audience through the content.

Interviews

COMMERCIALS & SOCIALS

Director / Producer / Director of Photography

Talks by Janine is an interview show I was lucky to Direct and Co-Produce with the Czech fashion designer Janine herself. I have also directed and shot several other interviews, and interview-style commercials.

But wait, there's more!

EVERYTHING

All-Around-Man capable of All-Around-Things

That’s not all yet! I do much more. Here are more projects I wokred on, usually not as a director or a DOP, but mostly in post-production doing editing, color-grading or VFX. Videos are never done by just one person. It’s always a combination of many people’s visions and careers and experiences focused in one direction to create the best work possible. And thus I was lucky to work with talented people and use my experience and knowledge to satisfy clients’ vidid and playful visions.

About My Road

I am a self-taught filmmaker. I started making short films with friends early in childhood when I was 11. I followed the passion throughout my life and watched myself grow in skill and vision. I am now a 30-years-old working professional. I have worked on every position in the industry and my main domain is writing & directing now. It takes knowing all the fields across the video/film production to know how to create and pull a project to its finest potential.
