I knew today’s Gothamist Interview had done a lot, but I had no idea that Ross Martin had been this busy. In fact, I have no idea how the guy has ever found time to sleep. He’s already been a development exec for Spike Lee’s 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks and nerve.com’s Nerve Television. He also started his own film & TV production company called Plant Films, developing a whole slate of projects. Meanwhile, the whole time he’s been an active poet with a book of works published in 2001 and he’s taught poetry courses at The New School, Wash U. in St. Louis, and the Rhode Island School of Design. Oh, and now? Now Ross is the Head of Programming for mtvU, MTV’s new channel for college students available on campuses nationwide.
As you can imagine, Ross has plenty to talk about, and it’s all pretty interesting. So head on over to and read his interview. Come on … all the cool college kids are doing it!
