Chasing Mavericks
2012
Christopher Sweeney was born in an Indian Health Service (IHS) Hospital and raised in Yakima, Washington. After graduating from high school, he served a four-year enlistment in the US Marine Corps. It was, in part, his military experiences - traveling extensively abroad and fighting in the first Gulf war (receiving a Silver Star for gallantry in action) - that so profoundly shaped who he is as an artist today. imdb.com
