Working with Chris has been a great experience! I feel like he puts 110% into everything he works on (even in the smallest projects), and his dedication and work ethic show every time. He’s not afraid to take risks and wear many hats if needed. There have been multiple projects where Chris has saved me by filling in for other roles, but still, he is an amazing cinematographer and will do his best to make sure a project is closer to greatness!
