He also worked as an executive producer for TV magazine programmes as well as such TV documentaries as THE SWITCHMAN, THE COMEDY and THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE BANKER PREISS. In 2003, Martin established the production company MAUR Film with the director and designer Aurel Klimt with a focus on the production of animated films.
