Raised in New Jersey, Europe, Boston, L.A., and now Nashville, TN. As a teen, I was hell-bent on filmmaking until music took over, landing me in Hollywood as a long-haired heavy metal singer. A storyteller, just louder. I paid the bills by working as an extra on sets with everyone from Tarantino to Zemeckis and soaked it all in. When music shot me back across the country to Nashville, by day I worked my way up the crew ladder to Assistant Director. When the rekindling of my childhood passion couldn't be ignored any longer, I wrote and directed the short comedy "Rocco & Vinnie." Since then, I've written, directed, and released, through Gravitas Ventures, two features and directed shorts, commercials, and music videos. My period supernatural thriller, "Final," is my latest short supernatural thriller. I have multiple finished screenplays and pilots ready to produce and am always looking for collaborators to make that happen.   Chris' Films:   Final (short thriller)   Midnight (short supernatural)   In The Dark (feature horror)   Dirty Little Secret 3D (short thriller)   Shattered (feature drama/thriller)   Rocco & Vinnie (short comedy)   Commercials:   Vizio, Nutrisystem, Oakley, Wall Street Journal   Shownotes: Ozark (tv series) Black Mirror (tv series) Stranger Things (tv series) CODA (film) WeCrashed (tv mini series) Ryan Reynolds (actor) George Clooney (actor) Eddie Murphy (actor) Pluto TV Star Wars: A New Hope (film) Quentin Tarantino (writer) Pulp Fiction (film) Forrest Gump (film) Speed (film) Lethal Weapon (film) Melrose Place (tv series) In Living Color (tv series) Full House (tv series) Quantum Leap (tv series) Arnold Schwarzenegger (actor) Total Recall (film) Robert Mitchum (actor) Tony Scott (screenwriter) Steven Soderbergh (producer) Gravitas Ventures film distributor American Cinematographer IMDb Pro Steven Spielberg (director) Script Notes podcast The Movie Crypt podcast   Albums & Movies Chris would take on an island: Shout at the Devil by Mötley Crüe Alive!
