About Sandra Martin Productions
I started my company in 1994 to follow a life-long dream:  to create a video collection which would help people better understand the feelings and experiences of others, and through that understanding, to become more supportive of one another.  The collection, known as "View from the Inside," consists of six documentaries, on the topics of physical disabilities, aging, Alzheimer's disease, death and dying and grieving.  (Select "View from the Inside" tab to see a video clip and to purchase).

I recently added another division to my company titled "Family Treasures," to provide personal professional assistance to people who want to preserve their life stories.  My videographer and I create a video recording of the highlights of your life, which does, as the name implies, become a family treasure for years to come.  (Select "Family Treasures" tab to see a sample and for further information).

Perhaps the mission of my company can best be understood by our logo, the inner facets of a kaleidoscope, which symbolize certain recurring themes:

  • We are like bits and pieces in a kaleidoscope – uniquely individual, yet all interconnected, each a part of the whole.
  • When life’s twists and turns change one of us, we all are changed.
  • Like the mirror images in a kaleidoscope, each part of the life cycle reflects and enhances its counterpart.
And, it symbolizes our most fundamental concept:
  • People are like kaleidoscopes . . . they can only be truly seen when viewed from the inside.
