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.

Producer/Director/Cinematographer from Brooklyn, NYC. Now residing in the Bay area. Freelancer for KQED Arts & Sciences. Currently commissioned by the Oakland Museum for 3 films about West Oakland set to screen in july 2016 til 2017. Back in NYC I was Producer for two seasons of a TV show called "Behind the Unsigned" for FuseTV. The show was a reality-docu series that profiled unsigned talent receiving notoriety independent of a record label deal. Soon after I created my own indy series called "Say Something Worth Something", SSWS for short. It was a play on the MTA transit slogan "If You See Something Say Something". It profiles artist and creators in the NYC Metro area that I felt deserved a platform. The series was picked up by Complex mag. and AfroPunk Festival. This series is what garnered the attention of KQED. I really enjoy working on docs long & short. I have a feature length doc on gender identity I completed this year in the role of Lead DP called "We Exist".

As a kid I was sure of one thing: when I was older I was going to be a Ghostbuster. I was going to haul my Proton Pack and Ghost Trap around in the Ecto-1, live in an old firehouse, and save my hometown from the tyranny of paranormal beings, three of my best buds in tow. When I came to learn that Ghostbusters weren’t real, but were instead fictional characters created for a movie, I did the rational thing and made my first and only career move into film making. The logic being, maybe I couldn’t be a Ghostbuster, but I could help make them… and hopefully meet one. Before attending film school I toured the country playing rowdy punk music with my non-Ghostbuster best buds. I gained a lot of experience on the road and through it accustomed myself to being exhausted, uncomfortable, and sometimes starving all the while chasing after creativity as fast as our beat-up van would go. I eventually made my way to San Francisco where I attended the Academy of Art University and studied cinematography. I again found myself in a state of lacking human comforts, but overflowing creatively. As a result of that experience and the connections I made within my program I was able to get myself onto set working as a First AC on numerous films, commercials, and music videos, leading me into my current role as a Director of Photography. As such, I practice technically adept filmmaking with a focus on igniting the imagination and pulling on the heart strings of my audience, the kind of film making that would make anyone want to be a Ghostbuster.
