In my professional career I have distributed more than 1,000 films at film festivals, accumulating over 35,000 selections and 6,000 awards. Among them are numerous Goya nominations, and two Oscar nominations with MADRE and AQUEL NO ERA YO.

In 2005 I launched the Madrid en corto project, which I managed for 15 years as part of my distribution work at ECAM.

In recent years I have focused my distribution work with my own company at Selected Films with short films and also feature films, where in a very short time it has become the fastest-growing Spanish distributor on the festival circuit both nationally and internationally

In programming I have been part of the selection committee at Documenta Madrid and have participated in project funding committees at ICAA, in the Canary Islands and Andalusia, and I have also been invited as a jury member at several international festivals.

I am also the author of the blog ismaelmartin.com where I share distribution strategies and tools we use in our work.
