MARTIN BANKS - Send
Martin an Email!
Martin has a 25-year career in the television and entertainment
industries. Moving his family from the New York City area to
San Diego in 2000 to find a slower pace of life, Martin opened
Video Gear Rentals in the summer of 2004. After less than a
year in business, it was obvious that San Diego needed an independent
filmmakers group, so Video Gear Rentals proudly became the founding
sponsor of San Diego Filmmakers. |
