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".

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.
