Chris is an outstanding drama director who excels at crafting scripts to brief and bringing scenes to life with remarkable vision. He’s highly collaborative, a true team player who thrives under pressure, and he consistently draws the best from his teams. A first-class director who I wholeheartedly recommend.
Chris is one of the most skilled Directors I have had the pleasure of working with. He’s extremely collaborative, has a fantastic attention to detail and always delivers high quality material whether it be interviews, stylised sequences or drama. He’s also a lovely human being and rarely stops smiling so win win!
Chris is a natural story teller. He shows an intuitive understanding of narrative structure and flow - along with an eye for the cinematic. He has proved to be highly capable at both casting and steering actor's performances. Practical, passionate and energetic, he is determined to always raise the bar with each film he directs. He's also got a great sense of humour and very much a team player - would very happily recommend working with him!
Chris brings a wealth of experience, a dynamic style, and a keen eye for detail, making him an invaluable asset to the team. He's creative, budget-savvy, and works seamlessly with the crew to deliver projects smoothly and efficiently every time. It's always a pleasure to have him on board.
Chris is a great PD. He always has a comprehensive grasp of the story, gets compelling interviews and illustrates them with beautifully crafted drama. He's hardworking, a great team player and always open to better ideas wherever they come from. And he's a laugh - all in all a joy to work with.
Chris brings a great energy to everything he does and is always on my list of directors to call on. He’s a team player, hard working and gets the job done on time and on budget whilst creatively guiding the team through the inevitable ups and downs of productions.
I've worked with Chris on several projects and he's always proved to be a pleasure to work with - hard working, creative, forward thinking and calm under pressure. He has a talent for getting the best out of those he works with - and works wonders with any budget constraints to maximise it on screen - producing great films as a result.
I worked with Chris on 'Underground Britain' and it was an absolute pleasure. He's an extremely talented editor with fantastic creative flare, bags of innovative ideas and great editorial judgement. Fast, efficient and organised, he has wonderful technical ability that allows him to quickly experiment with effects and edits. He's also a lot of fun to work with. It's a real treat to cut with someone who you know is getting the best out of your material.
