About

Martina de Alba is a leading visual artist from Palma de Mallorca, Spain. As a content creator in the digital and television spaces, she has produced, directed and edited for some of the most groundbreaking documentary and short form programming including National Geographic's Behind The Shot, the New York Times’ Cancer Refugees and the Webby Award-Nominated project The Making Of Loop - 60 Hz: Transmissions From The Drone Orchestra. Martina got her start in production as an Assistant Editor at VICE Media and quickly rose through the post-production ranks through her tenure from 2010 to 2016. Soon after, she switched gears to host VICE Does America, a political exploration docu-series that examined the cultural climate leading up to the 2016 Presidential Election. It wasn’t long before Martina moved back behind the camera to develop, produce and edit short documentaries for major networks and publications including CBS, National Geographic, The New York Times and more. Currently, Martina serves as a director/producer/editor for the digital media platform BESE, created by Zoe Saldana. In this role, she supports Saldana with building the production slate and exposing compelling stories of color. When Martina is not crafting digital series, she is working on an experimental video art installation entitled Immigrants for Life. She loves to play drums with her band Kimxi, and looks forward to her expansion as a documentarian and all around storyteller.
