Behind the Lens: Storytelling with Purpose and Passion TOPIC:
Exploring how storytelling through film transforms pain into purpose — and how creativity can turn personal challenges, like dyslexia, into artistic strength and human connection. TAGLINE:
“Every frame tells a truth. Every story told with heart becomes a legacy of change.” – Miss Liz DESCRIPTION:
Teatime with Miss Liz, we step behind the lens with E. Hughes Martinez — a writer, director, and producer whose story proves that resilience can rewrite the script.
Born and raised in Santa Cruz, California, Hugh faced dyslexia as a child — but instead of letting it silence him, he turned it into his greatest strength. Through film, he found his voice — and has since worked on major productions including Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, Blackbird, and The Bricklayer, as well as award-winning shorts The Method and The 4th Branch. Join Miss Liz and Hugh for a cinematic Teatime that uncovers the purpose behind the passion, the courage it takes to lead with vision, and the power of every story told with truth to heal, inspire, and connect humanity. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Teatime, Hugh — it’s an honour to share this space of truth and storytelling with you. CLOSING SUMMARY
