About martinnuza

Multi-award winning Producer Martin Nuza continues gathering accolades across Europe and the US, adding to his already collection of over 100 film and writing awards and nominations. The latest being from the “Bs Filmfest” in Bristol, England on October 2023 for the “Best Trailer” category for his feature film “In Tenebras: Into the Darkness” a film shot in Gibraltar starring Michael Pare, Tanya Kansik and Costas Mandylor. This same film was also nominated for the “Best Trailer” at the “Primsa: Rome Independent Film Awards” in, Italy on October 2023. His screenplay, based on his published novel “Snatched: The Unforgettable Cruise” based on the real life events of crimes aboard cruise ships, won the “Las Vegas International Film and Screenwriting Festival” in Las Vegas, USA for “Best Crime Screenplay on November 2023. Martin researched the book and screenplay for three years with the “International Cruise Victims Organization” in the US together with their lawyer Mr. James Walker from Florida. “I was shocked to learn about all the crimes and suffering both passengers and crew members have experienced over the decades aboard cruise ships,” explains Martin, “and nothing is mentioned anywhere, not even in the news, yet crimes continue, people continue to go missing and families continue to endure hardship. This is why I decided to write about this subject and hopefully find investors or sponsherships to help me make a movie to further expose the reality of what is still happening even today and hopefully save lives by making people aware of how unsafe it can be to be on a cruise ship if you are not aware of what is going on.” I am currently developing a new feature called “Dracula: Rise of the Vampire” along with my associate Dean Meadows where we aim to shoot this film in the UK in 2024. My previous feature film “The Woods Encounters: The Movie” is in the final stages of post production and the director Mr. Pedro Sanchez Roman is finalizing the last visual effects of the film in Spain. So 2024 promises to be an eventful year with the release of “The Woods Encounters: The Movie” “In Tenebras: Into the Darkness” and starting off the year with the new production of “Dracula: Rise of the Vampire”
