“Chris’ boundless enthusiasm for all things filmmaking is infectious and a true inspiration.”

A History of Storytelling…
For over 30 years, I have successfully performed, staged, coordinated, written, produced, directed, and edited projects across multiple formats and environments. My diverse career began at the Walt Disney Company in 1989, but my love of story was sparked years earlier by a spectrum of live-action and animated films, television, and the expressive musical compositions that underscored them all. As I continue to learn, grow, and evolve as a creator, I am perpetually energized by the imaginative process and the artistry of bringing new concepts to life.
Filmmaker
Applying the inspiration of my youth, I first stepped behind the camera in 2002. Since then, I have written, produced, directed, and edited an assortment of acknowledged projects across commercial, documentary, short, and feature categories.
Content Creator
Further expanding my creative outlets, my affinity for audiovisual works has resulted in the assembly of numerous specs, trailers, sizzles, and montages, earning personal recognition from Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Walt Disney Imagineering.
Pre-Viz Producer
Blending my filmmaking skill set with my extensive action background, I’ve designed, shot, and cut a variety of sequences—creating live-action and motion graphic blueprints for the action scenes on an array of movies and television.
Action Coordinator
Incorporating my proficiency as a performer, I’ve safely coordinated and choreographed a multitude of action-themed elements for a range of productions spanning video games, commercials, TV and film, and a medley of theatrical settings.
Stunt Performer
My passion for cinema, combined with my athletic experience, led to stunt work on over 180 television episodes and more than 40 feature films, such as the Disney+ series The Mandalorian and the Pirates of the Caribbean film saga.
Nostalgia Geek
I have an intense enthusiasm for yesteryear, and recognize significant value in the days and artists of yore. Enlivened by a sentimentalized “golden age,” I always endeavor to illustrate and celebrate that in my work… if only on some small scale.
