Gabriel Martínez

Gabriel Martínez, a journalist and radio man from Bogotá, wrote in 1943 the screenplay of the first great success of Colombian sound cinema for a Chilean filmmaker passing through, then went behind the camera himself. He was among those who, having left the Ducrane company, founded Patria Films with actors from Chile. There he directed two films in two years, before the four Colombian companies of that period all closed together in 1946. Nothing is established about his life after that date.
