About Chris

I’m a Los Angeles based writer/director developing thrillers with underlying love stories for film and TV. My studio, indie and brand storytelling experience include Satin distributed by Warner Bros. & Showtime and Levis Brand film Coming Home - AFI FEST premier. My career began in visual effects for George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) on films such as; Star Wars, Mission Impossible, Men in Black, Twister, Lost World - Jurassic Park. I was an American Film Institute (AFI) Directing Fellow. I’ve studied acting with Larry Moss and Emmy winner Jeffrey Tambor. I completed screenwriting workshops with Corey Mandell and Robert McKee. I have a B.A. from U.C. Berkeley. My mission is to inspire a diverse creative community of talent to collaborate with efficient workflow to produce thrilling high-quality stories that captivate the audience and enrich lives.
