LGBTQ+ Superhero Movie Premiere in Worcester by Tom Paul Martin

In 2007, Tom Paul Martin experienced a pivotal moment during a talent show at Droitwich High School that ignited his passion for filmmaking. Watching a video created by past students made him realize his love for TV and film, leading him to pursue a career in this field. Over the years, Martin has developed his skills and gained recognition, with his work even being shared by prominent figures like Sir Paul McCartney and Sam Smith. His latest project, a superhero-themed film, showcases the fun and creativity associated with the genre, featuring big costumes, robots, and CGI. The film stars Rory Fleck-Byrne, known for his role in the BBC series 'This is Going to Hurt,' and Imran Adams, who appeared in 'Hollyoaks.' Martin reached out to their agents with the script, and both actors expressed interest in participating, marking a significant achievement for the filmmaker. The film is set to premiere at the Worcester Film Festival, where it has been nominated for awards in three categories: Best Costume Designer, Best Editor, and Best Sound Design. Martin emphasizes the importance of such festivals as platforms for aspiring directors to showcase their work and connect with industry professionals. In his advice to new filmmakers, Martin encourages them to be open-minded and not overly attached to their projects. He believes that creating content and learning from the process is essential for growth in the industry, and that even seemingly silly stories can resonate with audiences and attract interest from actors and crew members alike.
