Chris is a BAFTA longlisted film and commercial director based in London. After directing theatre at a young age, Chris initially studied psychology before going on to train at Bournemouth Film School, part of the Arts University Bournemouth. His first short with writer Geoff Gedroyc, “Sleeping Dogs”, starring Joe McGann, screened at numerous international film festivals and was longlisted for a Welsh BAFTA.

In 2011, he was one of the youngest directors invited onto the prestigious BFI National Film Academy scheme and was named as one of the nation’s most promising new filmmakers. His follow-up “The Choke” explored similar themes of masculinity and violence and was nominated for Best Thriller at Aesthetica and screened at the BFI Future Film Festival.

In 2017 he was commissioned to direct a short documentary for the BBC and Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. The film explored three different generations of conflict, and the way media misinformation is used to incite violence. It was praised by the Mayor of London Sadiq Kahn as ‘urgent and unforgettable.’

Chris’ commercial portfolio includes work for major international brands such as Kia, American Express, Google, BT and Puma.
