Writer/Director - Martin R. McGowan
A filmmaker at heart since he was nine years old, Marty began working on films at the age of 18 after purchasing his first camera. Nearly ten years later, MRM has been built as a label for what was once a one-man-band, and is now a strong core team.

The longest MRM collaborator, Austin has scored every MRM film except for one. Ava is his first feature, and a huge accomplishment.
Austin is also composer of the multi-award-winning short Pressed.

Producer - Vero De Hart
College graduate, world traveler, and polyglot, Vero has been a part of the MRM films almost since the beginning, being shown early cuts and drafts of previous films.

Filmmaker, stage veteran, and community pillar Santo D. Marabella joined Ava after a chance encounter, facilitated by Amy Hudak, when Marty was looking for information.
