Martin Ingle

Martin Ingle is an Australian writer, director, actor and obsessive-compulsive worry wart whose work spans drama, factual, comedy and theatre, so can be difficult to describe in a few words. So here are a few more: His graduate short "Instructions Inside" won Most Outstanding Film and Most Outstanding Script of Griffith Film School in 2011. He then caught national attention over the next few years for his online documentary project "Into the Middle of Things", which saw him travel across the country spontaneously interviewing over 80 total strangers, and was featured on Channel Ten, ABC Radio National, the Queensland Poetry Festival and Woodford Folk Festival. In 2016 he was The Chaser's first ever scholarship winner, travelling the US with Australia's premiere satire news site reporting on the totally sane and dull process that was the 2016 presidential election. That same year he received development funding through Screen Queensland/ABC iview's Factual Format Initiative for a live comedy project which he was also supported to take to market at MIPTV Cannes in 2017. His mental illness comedy/drama series "Disorderly" was a recipient of Screen Queensland's Talent Development Initiative in 2018. The pilot script was a 2019 finalist for the prestigious ScreenCraft Fellowship and was also awarded Highly Commended in the AWG's 2018 Laugh Out Loud Competition, which placed it in the top six scripts from entrants nationwide. It's in development right now. In 2019 he began self-produced short satire series "F Off We're Full", a satirical but heartfelt comedy about modern white nationalism in Australia. The full series is in production in 2020, but you can watch the first teaser episode online now at foffwerefullseries. He is a contributor to The Chaser and The Shovel, and has been a remote writer and correspondent to The Leak on RMITV.
