Glo Martinez is a documentary and digital media storyteller whose creativity is rooted in a relationship with a living earth.

she directs + edits video to reflect the awe of being human and the value of our return to kinship crafting stories that demonstrate the joy and peace it can be.

Following a career as an independent film editor within filmmakers’ cooperatives in San Francisco, like Scary Cow, she veered into the realm of eco-spirituality and -feminism where she began to experience similarities akin to her Chamoru heritage and matriarchal upbringing — an innate understanding of a more-than-human world, and a lived practice of social equity and communal care.

her artistic practice weaves an indigenous lens with lived experience and sacred practice into the foundation of her craft and curiosity. She independently produces slow media for her personal brand and has collaborated on social series’ with various grass-roots organizations.

Her work seeks to create access points of re-membering our humanness as intrinsic to earth’s ecosystem centering stories of vibrant culture, awe, and connection that remind us of ways we (can) thrive.
