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 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 was an important 2nd Unit Director on BBC show 'London Kills'. In our time together I was highly impressed with his understanding of story and performance work. Always thoroughly prepped and with a variety of interesting ideas I would highly recommend him for any drama directing that will inevitably come his way.
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 to maximise it on screen - producing great films as a result.
t was an absolute pleasure to have Chris on the team. Having worked with him as an editor I already knew he was very capable, and now so as a director - from scripting to shooting and through the edit, from the technical side of production to story telling, through visual style, pacing and use of music - Chris has excelled in it all.
