About Mad Ox Productions

Brian, Teri, and Chris Martin founded this company in 2007 out of a love for movies and movie making.  They first began their film career helping a friend and co-worker make his first feature film.  In 2005, Patrick Sevigny of Long Strange Trip Productions, LLC, began production on The Memorial Counselor.  Brian was the Assistant Director, Teri, Script Coordinator and Assistant Editor, and Chris was part of the cast and crew!  After that experience, they started Santiam Film Group to find others in the area with an interest in moviemaking and who wanted to create independent films.  Through Santiam Film Group, they were introduced to their Director of Photography on Just Rewards, Todd Spiegelberg.  Working on various film projects has brought together a great group of people with various styles, creativity, and a sharing of production equipment.  They are always looking for creative people who want to share their talents and who have a love of movie making.   Their first short film, Just Rewards, was completed in 2009 and is in the competition in the daVinci Film Festival for narrative short films.
