The Martians new film for the Young Directors Awards pays tribute to their music teacher

The charmingly wonderful new film ‘Born to Create Drama’ from the Martians celebrates young talent with their trademark brand of heartfelt and genuine comedy. At the heart of the film is the brilliant young violinist, Ana Rita Corderio who breaks away from tradition and gets her horror movie groove on. With flashes of Nosferatu spliced into the mix and some clever transitions the piece floats effortlessly from one great scene to the next but never undermines the central performance.

With the central theme being that of nurturing talent and giving opportunities and creative freedom to young people and allowing them to be able to express themselves without boundaries. The Young Directors Awards is one beacon that allows such things to happen for young creators, even if they’re from the other side of the galaxy.

“Our latest piece of work was created in memory of our former music teacher F. Gordon whose wise words turned us into what we are today.” - The Martians

“If being out of tune killed, you would be intergalactic serial killers”

- F. Gordon
