Mad Martha

Short Film

Fiction Documentary

In 1976, a young woman from a quiet rural town made a startling claim - she had encountered something not of this world. What began as a strange and unexplainable event soon grew into a local legend, sparking debate, fear, and fascination among the townspeople. Over the decades, the story evolved, weaving itself into the fabric of the community, leaving behind whispers of the unknown.

Now, 45 years later, this fictional documentary revisits the case through archival footage, dramatic recreations, and interviews with locals, skeptics, and believers alike. As the lines between myth and reality blur, Mad Martha explores the profound impact of the unexplained, questioning how a single event can shape the identity of an entire town. Was it a shared delusion, a misunderstood phenomenon, or proof that we are not alone?
