LATEST FEATURE PROJECT

The Mystery of Mr E – Official Trailer

In 2019 Martyn crossed paths with international bestselling author Sophie Hannah. After watching Martyn’s first feature, Hunters Lodge (Amazon/Blu Ray 2016) discussions began on how to potentially adapt her family friendly stage play. Sophie green-lit the project with £180K investment of her own money in 2021. It was shot on location in Yorkshire and Hertfordshire in 2022/early 2023. This is Martyn’s second feature – A Murder Mystery Musical Movie with twin brothers in the lead, and ten songs – out on Amazon Nov 25th 2023.

‘Sophie was keen to retain as much of the original source material and stage play as possible. Some of it had to be adapted as we are moving into the film medium but the result was extremely satisfying for all involved and especially Sophie who now say’s it is her favourite movie ever. The cast and crew were so supportive and passionate about the movie. I think that comes down the lens and to deliver to a client beyond their expectations is always the best news I could hope for as a Film maker.’ – Martyn Tott (Producer/Director/Editor).

‘Multiple high-concept hooks….a drop-dead gorgeous location—what is not to love?! – Kemper Donovan, All About Agatha Podcast.

‘I loved the film. Good luck with the Premiere!’ – Alex Spencer, Cambridge Independent.

‘…it clearly comes from a place of deep genre adoration and knowledge, on both the whodunnit and musical sides. The songs are excellent: verbally limber Gilbert and Sullivan-esque elaborations …’  – The Guardian.
