About me: Fabien Martorell was born on July 10th, 1972 in France. His professional work in film began in 1994 when he co-wrote, directed and produced his first short film THE TRACK. He had a standing ovation for this film at the “Cannes Film Festival”.
He has since written, directed and produced 6 other short films: LILITH (Pilot), SUSAN LOVES LOBSTERS, MEMORIES OF A DAGGER, THE NIGHTMARE OF NARCISS(e), LA LUNA, and THE HAND. His short films have been selected and screened at prestigious International Film Festivals; in locations such as Cannes, Clermont-Ferrand, Barcelona, Oberhausen, London, Tokyo...
Fabien arrived in Los Angeles December 2007. He immediately started the shooting of his feature-length documentary TROMATIZED, MEET LLOYD KAUFMAN about the famous independent NYC film producer Lloyd Kaufman (Troma Entertainment, Inc.), also starring Stan Lee, Roger Corman, John Badham, Steven Paul, Marc Damon, James Gunn, Tiffany Shepis and Edouard Baer. This film was selected at the “12th Hollywood Film Festival” 10 months later.
Fabien has written and directed two feature-length screenplays. The first, LILITH, is a stylish psychological drama/thriller in the vein of SE7EN, ANGEL HEART and DRACULA. Sean Gullette, the writer and star of Darren Aronofsky’s PI, is expected to play the lead. The second, THE MAN BEHIND YOU (from a synopsis written by Fritz Lang in 1934), is a dark stylish movie in the tradition of FIGHT CLUB and DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE.
In 1996, Fabien has set up Court!... et Alors? in France to produce his short films, create and organize the “Festival du Film Francophone de Vaulx-en-Velin” (Editions 1, 2 and 3).
Fabien draws his own storyboards.
Fabien now resides in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles.
