When Craig Martin yells, “stop the van!” his The Good Road co-host, Earl Bridges, gets worried.  It usually means Craig wants to get out and film something potentially bizarre happening by the side of the road.  Craig is almost always unfazed in dangerous environments because he has spent the past 30 years filming in war zones, disaster zones and remote villages in more than 85 countries.  

 

Craig Martin is an experienced visual storyteller, film-maker and writer with more than 30 years of experience.  As a video/film producer, director, writer and editor, Craig has produced hundreds of projects both long and short form.  With an MA in Communications from Baylor University, Craig has explored a variety of formats including dramatic and journalistic storytelling with a focus on documentary.  In addition to his film accomplishments, Craig has contributed multiple articles for national publications. He produced the feature length docudrama The Insanity of God distributed internationally by Word Films and screened on more than 500 theaters through Fathom Events.   He is Executive Producer on Free Burma Rangers, a Fathom/LifeWay documentary that screened in theaters nationally in February 2020. Phil Cooke, a nationally renowned filmmaker, writer and founder of Cooke Media Group in Burbank, CA, says “Craig has been in demand internationally as a media producer and executive, and as a result is particularly experienced working in diverse cultures, leading highly skilled teams, and dealing in high stress situations. He has excellent leadership skills, and understands how to meet challenging deadlines.” 

Currently, Craig co-hosts and produces a TV docu-series about global philanthropy called The Good Road.  This series explores the world of philanthropy in an edgy way in countries across the globe and will air nationally on Public Television and is presented by WETA in Washington, DC.  As part of the larger franchise, Craig produces and hosts a podcast called Philanthropology.
