FILMMAKER'S NOTES "Mart-Face" is my Down's Syndrome, brother, Marty, about whom I've written a song, a book, and done a documentary feature film: All entitled, "Mart-Face". I don't think any animal or human who has met Marty will ever forget him. And I want everyone to meet my brother, "Mart-Face". Marty/Mart-Face once did stand-up as Phyllis Diller. He was brilliant. The audience laughed, cried, cheered, and gave him a standing ovation. My brother was a gift to me in this life I feel compelled to share with the world since his death, 17 September 1999. I hope to establish The Mart-Face Foundation for culture vulture tours and animal affection expeditions for people like my brother. Mart-Face expected miracles. Mart-Face got miracles. "Mart-Face" is miracles. "Mart-Face" was given his own cinema, film festival, limo, and website (www.Mart-Face.com) in Ohio in June of 1999. "Mart-Face" has since screened at New Filmmakers at Anthology Film Archives, New York, in January of 2001. "Mart-Face" was invited to screen at the debut of The Dahlonega International Film Festival, in Atlanta, in June of 2001.
