Martin Noël Robert is a French writer, director, producer, and composer based in Düsseldorf, Germany. His artistic journey began in childhood, where his fascination with storytelling and music laid the foundation for a multidisciplinary career spanning film, music, and performance. Rooted in a desire to explore human imperfection, the beauty of flaws, and the unpredictability of fate, his work seeks to engage audiences on an emotional and intellectual level.

As a musician, Martin co-founded the band The Yards before joining Stabil Elite in 2007. The group quickly became known for its blend of electronic pop, experimental sounds, and poetic lyricism. With two critically acclaimed albums, Douze Pouze and Spumante, as well as numerous singles and EPs, Stabil Elite toured internationally, performing in over 15 countries, including Mexico, the USA, China, Vietnam, Israel, and Serbia. They graced renowned venues such as the Julia Stoschek Foundation, the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, and the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. A particularly transformative experience for Martin was the band’s tour through Palestine, where they performed at the historic Cinema Jenin.

A multi-instrumentalist with an understanding of guitar, bass, drums, and synthesizers, Martin’s musical influences span blues, jazz, electronic pop, and experimental music. He is also a visual artist within the music realm, co-directing and serving as cinematographer for Stabil Elite’s music video Expo.

Martin’s filmmaking career reflects a similarly exploratory and reflective approach. His debut short film, Strada Statale 113 (2018), was shot entirely in Italy over eight days by a small crew of seven and premiered in early 2020. The film showcases his ability to blend striking imagery with character-driven storytelling. His second project, I Dino What to Tell You (2019), is part of an episodic film honoring Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes. Shot in Cologne, Germany, as a collaborative project, it demonstrates Martin’s skill in capturing intimate, dialogue-driven moments with minimal resources and maximum creative impact. His third short film The Letter was shot in Boston, Massachusetts and is in post production.

Deeply inspired by life’s oddities and the power of coincidence, Martin’s storytelling focuses on flawed and complex characters, often leaving questions unanswered to provoke thought and reflection. His narratives embrace imperfection and the inevitability of failure as pathways to hope, resilience, and growth.

Beyond his core artistic pursuits, Martin has performed as a supporting actor in opera productions at the Düsseldorf Opera House, with notable roles in Puccini’s La Bohème and Britten’s Billy Budd. He has also contributed to the cinematic arts as a freelancer at the Düsseldorf Film Museum, where he taught filmmaking to students of all ages, fostering creative expression and technical proficiency. Currently, he is part of the Metropol Kino Düsseldorf team, supporting one of the city’s most historic and enduring cinemas.

Martin is actively developing several screenplays across different genres, seeking collaborators and supporters to bring these projects to fruition. Whether in music or film, his work consistently aims to offer audiences a rich and immersive experience—one that celebrates the imperfections of life while offering a glimmer of hope and the joy of discovery.
