After acting in summer stock in HS, Martin attended North Carolina School of the Arts where he worked with Cigdem Onat, Tom Hulce (Amadeus) and K.Todd Freeman (The Cider House Rules) among others.
Transitioning to LA--and playwriting--in his 20's, Martin joined First Stage, where he wrote and directed plays (Asylum, The Return) and founded Adverb Advertising, where he created a HIV awareness campaign for the NBA and Magic Johnson Foundation.
On his 30th birthday, Martin moved to New York City, where he wrote songs, studied yoga, and lived and worked at a yoga ashram in the Catskill Mountains.
Moving to the SF Bay Area in his late 30's, James started a successful construction business, Realcrafter and had a son, Evan. Martin eventually sold Realcrafter to re-engage with his passion: writing and editing for the stage and screen.
In 2016, Martin completed the original-feature-comedy-screen-treatment Marge & The Don.
In 2018, Jackson Arms--a feature Martin wrote, produced and edited--was released on Amazon Prime.
In 2018, Martin completed Joseph Conrad's Victory, a stage adaptation of the Joseph Conrad novel and the first theatrical adaptation of the material in 100 years.
In 2018, Martin completed Outcast of the Islands, a stage adaptation of the Joseph Conrad novel and the first ever theatrical adaptation of the material.
