My name is Alan and I am a DP, Director, and Video Editor based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I attended Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, earning my BFA in Film Production with an emphasis in cinematography. I started my career in Los Angeles as a freelance cinematographer, shooting short films, music videos, and independent feature films. Notably, The Phoenix Project (2015) had a limited theatrical release, was reviewed in the LA Times, and received a distribution deal, ultimately landing on Netflix. After re-locating to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2016, I established myself as a commercial director and DP. I have created content for Google, Airbnb, Ford, Autodesk, HP, Uber, Dupont, and many other well-known brands. I have navigated shooting overseas, worked with celebrity talent and a Michelin Star chef, and directed campaigns with custom set builds and six-figure budgets. With 10+ years of professional filmmaking experience, I have a strong attention to detail and a deep understanding of visual storytelling. My leadership style is based on the understanding that production is a collaborative effort, and I strive to lead with confidence and empathy.

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.
