About Chris

Looking for a reliable, dedicated, high capacity and mature AD/PA? Look no further!

As an AD I bring 20+ years of project management experience, passion for storytelling, and a love for collaboration. In addition I bring a wealth of emotional and professional maturity. An expert at managing schedules & people I strive to run all productions smoothly, efficiently and safely.

I aim to foresee potential issues & solve problems as a unified team when the unexpected arises. My goal to complete the project on time and under budget.

While my main goal is to become a full-time 1st AD, I see the PA role as an important step in that journey. No task or role is below me and I bring the same energy and dedication to my work as a PA.

A day on set is better than a day not on set and I can't wait to bring my skills, experience and personality to a production to help in the realization of a cinematic vision.
