• Sound Mixer

Digital Media Producer with 15 years of hands on experience ranging from filmmaking to corporate video to event video to television. The years have pushed me into being a solid all-around type in film and video production, often serving as a camera op / DoP, AC, DIT, sound recordist / mixer, field manager and producer. However, my areas of focus are directing and editing, which allow me to shoot better with post in mind, as well as understand the process of vision and pull it all together. Can't be the master of all. But my diverse background allows me to see the big picture and get projects done, either as a lone wolf or as part of a team. For my production company, one studios, I often subcontract a wide array of dependable, experienced production professionals. So, if you're in need of a bigger team just let me know and I'll reach out to my network. For me, it's all about doing everything I can, including using my resources, to allow for a successful project. I'm currently based in San Francisco and often travel throughout Northern California for assignments. Travel to out of state, or even out of country, is not a problem....passport ready. I look forward to working with you! No matter the circumstances or how much of a challenge, let's get it done!....always with a good attitude. We're lucky to be doing this kind of work.

Hi, I'm Chris Layhe, a native of Cheshire in the UK, but US based for the past 20 years. I started out life as a documentary director and editor at the BBC in London, before creating my own UK company to allow me to expand into the DP and editor roles on film, broadcast and corporate projects. Today I'm San Francisco based and I concentrate more on DP, editor and colorist work - using this synergy to get the most from any story in each of these key disciplines in both the visual and sound. Of course, you never fully give up directing once you have it in your system, and I do still direct some pieces, like music videos. But I prefer to offer this as an added extra to working with me on your team - having an editor who understands the whole process and is as happy rewriting a section of the script or providing notes to a camera team as he is cutting an hour long special makes for an easy life! The same with a DP who can step in to help in a crunch, or direct and shoot 2nd Unit.

I'm a San Francisco-based storyteller working for a more equal and integrated society. I'm dedicated to challenging taboos and illuminating truths by giving voice to marginalized populations through film. I am in the post-production phase of my SF Film Society-sponsored short documentary, There Is a Place, about a musician who visits various Alzheimer's care facilities in the SF Bay Area. The film explores how contributing to a collective musical sound within a circle of peers brings out presentness, playfulness and a sense of connection in the face of memory loss, loneliness, and the end of life. Aside from my personal film projects, I've worked with corporate, nonprofit and solopreneur clients to deliver compelling videos that serve their messages. These projects include both documentary-style and narrative shorts, and I drive these projects from creative story development to production, direction and post-production.

I am a documentary filmmaker, directing feature length documentary films. I have been working with social justice groups to create media to tell their stories for 12 years. I have produced hundreds of short videos to be shared online. I have been creating media around worker's strikes, election campaigns, etc so I am used to producing videos on tight deadlines. Much of the work I do has a press component; I often provide interviews, photos & broll reels to press. In 2010 when my work supporting immigrant rights communities in my home state of Arizona drew national coverage, I began getting freelance assignments for radio, PBS Jorge Gestoso Investiga, CNN Espanol, NBC National, TeleSur, Democracy Now, Bill Moyers and Al Jazeera's Faultlines (line production). I am an editor so I capture professional video/ audio with all of the components to tell a story. I came to video journalism through advocacy media but I understand the difference.

ShakaJamal is a culturally innovative artist and filmmaker from Oakland, California. His experiences as film producer, director, cinematographer, editor, writer, performing artist, and music producer bring a distinctive and invaluable perspective to any venture. ShakaJamal searches for stories that reveal the unseen scars of everyday people and strives to reveal how that pain is transformed into a motivating force in their lives. He searches for stories of unification rather than division, yet still allows room for the bitterness of hardship to resonate as a beautiful truth. ShakaJamal is a graduate of Tuskegee University where he earned a BA in History. He received a Masters of Fine Arts in Cinema at San Francisco State University. ShakaJamal is the first filmmaker from Oakland, CA to receive the Game Changers Fellowship which lead me to premiere a series of short documentaries in New York at Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

With a background in Anthropology and Photography, I am working on a Master’s Degree in Media Innovation. My goal is to illustrate the #ClimateCrisis. Photography is a lifelong passion of mine. I draw from my experiences working as an archaeologist across the country, in kitchens as a cook, and a father of two in order to connect with communities. Ever since I first picked up a camera as a child, I have been obsessed with chasing light and remain committed to a lifelong pursuit of storytelling. I use both digital and film to document people, places and things; all the while crafting engaging visual stories. Having studied the history of photography, I continue by studying contemporary photographer’s work to push my craft forward. As a Solutions-based journalist, I work to craft images focused on not just the problems, but how people overcome adversity and reach a happy ending. When not crafting stories that matter, I can be found traveling and camping with my wife and two daughters, tending a garden, baking bread, and playing the banjo. As an avid conservationist, everything I do is guided by the wisdom of Nature. For more information or to hire me, you can direct all inquiries through the contact form here.

After graduating from USC with a degree in business and cinema, Chris' film career has taken him from the depths of agency work, to coordinating post-production for awful American movies seen late at night in Belgium. His film directing and producing work has resulted in him criss crossing the country with the aid of caffeinated beverages. He eventually made his way in the Nashville country and Christian music video industries, before finally forsaking his soul to commercial LA rock n' roll. These misadventures eventually culminated in him winning a Billboard Magazine Music Video Award. With the success of his theatrically released feature documentaries, PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA and EVERYDAY SUNSHINE: THE STORY OF FISHBONE , he has gone on to pursue other sub-cultural documentary subjects, including: rogue economists, lucha libre wrestlers, swamp rat hunters, ganjapreneurs, and evangelical Christian surfers.

My name is Henry. I recently graduated from The American University of Rome having received a Bachelor of Arts in Film. During my time at AUR I worked on a number of projects, primarily non-fiction narrative both for my senior thesis and the Film Festival Club. My primary role in all of these projects was director while also doing cinematography, editing and sound. In both Rome and here in California, I have pursued film photography as a hobby. In Europe my focus was architecture, and in the Western United States it was landscapes. I use Adobe Lightroom for editing. For video editing I use DaVinci Resolve Studio, though I am also proficient with Adobe Premiere Pro. Prior to college, I was a Boy Scout, having received the rank of Eagle. This instilled within me a strong work ethic, a trustworthy character, and the constant desire to learn new things and try out new ideas.
