Marshall Malone, Comedy Writer and Director
I am an independent writer, director, producer, and editor, best known for the award winning comedy brand Upside Down Creative Media. Since 2008 I have created 300+ original sketches, web series, and short films. I am self taught. No film school. I learned by doing, failing, and doing again until it was funny.
Calling My Shot Early: 60 Second Mocks
In March 2018 I launched 60 Second Mocks, a 16 episode micro mockumentary series built for one minute attention spans. It arrived before Comedy Central’s Mini Mocks run in July 2018. I was already playing in the short form space before it was cool, trendy, or a memo from corporate.

Studio 604
In 2025 I launched Studio 604, a production space built for comedy, live streaming, and podcasts. It is scrappy, efficient, and purpose built by a guy who learned timing in a DAW in 1999 and turned that rhythm into edits that hit.
Voice and POV
My comedy is self deprecating and absurd, with a dark streak that pays the bills and scares the algorithm a little. I build formats that feel native to the internet. Sketch, mockumentary, live show, podcast. If it makes people laugh and stick around, I ship it.
