Bio & background

Martin & Lindsay is the directing duo of TJ Martin and Dan Lindsay, Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmakers who have transitioned their rigorous storytelling craft into acclaimed commercial work. The pair won the Oscar for their debut feature *Undefeated*, chronicling a Memphis high school football team, and an Emmy for *LA92*, which recontextualized rare archival footage of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising. Their recent documentary *Tina* earned multiple Primetime Emmy nominations. In commercials, Martin & Lindsay are best known for *The Truth is Worth It*, a six-part New York Times campaign with Droga5 that won two Cannes Grand Prix, two D&AD Black Pencils, and top honors at The One Show and AICP in 2019. They have directed spots for Eli Lilly with Wieden + Kennedy Portland, Google, Facebook, Meta, Gatorade, and Comcast. Their approach fuses deep research with artistic improvisation, capturing emotional moments and elevating archival material into new contexts. As of November 2025, they are working with Furlined (US), Spindle (UK/Amsterdam), and TP Film (Germany).
