Matt Lenski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matt Lenski is an American director. Lenski has directed multiple projects for television. After seven years at Viacom, working for MTV, MTV2, Nickelodeon, LOGO and other affiliates, he moved on to directing music videos and commercials. He was nominated for a GLAAD Award for his work on the "Cupid" safe sex campaign for the Kaiser Foundation, and awarded a 2005 MTV Video Music Award for his directing on "Sugar, We're Goin' Down," a music video for Fall Out Boy. The video ranked #1 on MTV's TRL, "Total Request's Live."
Lenski acted and co-produced the 2004 feature film "Point & Shoot," directed by Shawn Regruto. Lenski's 2004 viral campaign, "F*ck New York," parodied the Republican Presidential Convention, which took place in New York City. The satire, which featured thug teens playing the rolls of President George W. Bush and his political bedfellows, was downloaded and mirrored heavily throughout the internet.
