Martin P. Waterman

Entrepreneur and Investor, Film, Media, Entertainment

Martin P. Waterman brings over thirty years of expertise in early-stage technology and ventures, with a strong focus on risk mitigation and human resources. Recently, he has redirected his passion into the film and entertainment industry, applying his proprietary stewardship to each project as if it were a startup enterprise. His specialty lies in overcoming the investment constraints in production and development financing, addressing the industry’s high-risk perception often likened to gambling and vanity investing.

In addition to his own films, Mr. Waterman is assisting with project acquisition and strategic partnerships for Motion Media Group, where he successfully raised capital. Motion Media Group has secured $300 million in film financing and is set to produce over 20 films for 2024. Mr. Waterman will be discussing film as an emerging, secured asset class and the transformative changes and democratization within the entertainment industry that have created new opportunities for investors.
