I got a facebook request last week from my old friends the Sniper Twins and wanted to share their near-genius creative spirit with you.

The Sniper Twins are Barry Flanagan and Dax Martinez-Vargas. In addition to film making, the two create music and perform. They are represented for commercials in Europe by Independent Films UK.
The team worked as directors/creatives for 5+ years in MTV’s On-Air Promotions department until February 2011. The duo have accumulated several awards and honors for their work listed in the credits below. Their Sniper Twins music videos ‘Salad Wrap’, ‘Computer Friends’, and ‘Chocolate Shoppe,’ have garnered a great deal of attention online led by ‘Computer Friends’.

In addition to commercials and music videos, Sniper Twins have always had a passion for longer form content. The two wrote and directed a 2-hour sketch video show in 2005 called ‘Nothing Liquid’ which premiered at the Alamo Drafthouse Theater in Austin TX. The duo is actively developing several film and television projects.

I hope to do a follow up with them sometime soon, so look out for it.

In the meantime, check out their website: http://www.snipertwins.com/ and be sure to ‘like’ them on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SniperTwins
