MARTIN + SWEENEY

Martin Sweeney is a San Francisco-based director, screenwriter and commercial creative director. He has sold numerous feature screenplays to major studios, worked with comedy royalty Todd Phillips and Ben Stiller and has had at least one awkward conversation with George Lucas. During the WGA strike of 2008 Martin founded BORRACHO, a creative agency specializing in content, branding, advertising for tech start ups and other young companies. Martin graduated from with honors from The University of Michigan's Residential College, where he won hundreds of dollars of prize money from prestigious college writing awards, then moved to New York City to pursue his twin passions of poverty and underemployment. Martin studied and performed long form improv comedy at the UCB Theater in New York and the Improv Olympic in Los Angeles. He also wrote, directed and performed in 37 episodes of Behind the Music That Sucks, a 2000 Webby Award winner and the first-ever internet show to cross-over to cable..
