Seller Spotlight
Featuring Malena Martinez

Writer, Producer, Director, DP

This Seller Spotlight featured Malena Martinez, a standout member of the eBay community with a great story and a sharp sense of style. Her passion for sustainable fashion and her commitment to running a values-driven business came through in every frame. It was great visiting her brick-and-mortar shop in Pennsylvania, and more than a few crew members left with vintage treasures of their own.

THE PRODUCER


Senior Creative Producer and Cinematographer with a track record of delivering high-impact content for social, paid, and broadcast. I can do it all, from working in the field as a one-person crew to leading full-scale productions, studio builds, and strategic oversight. At eBay, I built and now run the in-house studio, managing creative from concept to delivery. My experience spans commercial campaigns, corporate storytelling, and episodic television. I bring a sharp eye, a calm presence, and a flexible approach to every project I take on.
THE PERSON


Bay Area native who started making videos in middle school, cutting skate tapes with a borrowed camcorder and two VCRs. In high school I leaned into video production, then joined the United States Air Force and served as an air traffic controller at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo. After the military, I went to film school and graduated valedictorian. I’m into live music, creative side projects, and keeping good company with close friends, and family. I don’t mind pressure, I figure things out fast, and I’m always up for whatever comes next.
