Chris was fantastic to work with! He instantly understood our vision for the project and was very sensitive working around the guidelines we needed to follow in regards to filming minors at one of our community partner sites. Our college students felt very comfortable interviewing with Chris and Kate. Chris has done a beautiful job with editing and telling our story. We are very happy and would work with him again!

We've worked with Chris on several occasions now and each time he's gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional footage. He brings his artistic eye to bear on every single shot and is one of our go-to Storyhunters. Highly recommended.

Adele’s Mohair is so much more than a workshop making beautiful yarns and finished items; it's about a creative process that is allowed to flow, and it uses many hands to achieve this. Passionate about honouring the environment and working with the natural fibres of Mohair, Wool, Silk and Bamboo, makes ecological sense. Welcome to Adele's world.

Had the privilege to capture this unique story covering a Metal Festival hosted in Ghanzi, Botswana. Great to see people being able to express themselves in ways that are not culturally typical of the land they live in.
