“Be the guy who people want to work with!” Says Chris Campbell, Director🍿 He is tatted, edgy, a little cynical and a pragmatist. He is also passionate about making quality work and being the guy people like on the set. Chris has been immersed in the YA space, namely directing young influencers for content that appeals to the tween and teen girl set. His commercial reel is impressive and he was awarded a student Emmy out the gate from film school that he thought would launch his career in commercials. “But no one cared.. the phone didn’t ring..” and that proverbial big movie offer didn’t come easy. He says there is no class that teaches artists how to make it outside of film school, so perhaps his story and guidance can help others on their young quest as aspiring directors. He does get super excited talking about cooking - and has experimented in the kitchen making all kinds of “fancy” dishes. He showed me his collection of taxidermy- and believe it or not- he has gotten pieces off Craig’s List! He has hunted but none of his mounts were his trophies. He used to ride his skateboard and for a hot minute pursued acting. His mother was always a big supporter of his goals. Now he is where he wants to be- “practicing” on the job and glad to work long hours on set with his hand picked crew. What’s next? Maybe a Hallmark Rom Com, maybe a Mystery or Thriller. Chris Campbell is open to opportunity and grateful when he is working. For more - see his website with samples of his narrative film work and his commercial reel.
