Digital Content Producer | Creative Operations Specialist

Bridging the gap between communications and technical creative infrastructure. If you point me at a computer, 11 times out of 10 I can get the job done.

“Without Chris being our Technical guru, the Fleurieu Film Festival would not have come to fruition” — Alison Alcock, Founder

Philosophy

I believe in the power of practical, grounded storytelling. For me, it’s not about flashy graphics for the sake of it; it’s about making sure the message lands where it needs to. My approach is defined by a commitment to technical excellence and a ‘can-do’ attitude toward problem-solving – whether that’s troubleshooting a live stream in an open cut mine in rural South Australia or navigating the nuances of Government software platforms. I can control fast turns with a keen eye and steady hand.

With over 12 years of experience, I’ve managed technical budgets, overseen complex submission pipelines for festivals, and stayed at the forefront of emerging tech and talent. I’m as comfortable discussing B-roll as I am Token Context Windows, and collaborating with stakeholders to meet a tight deadline.

What you’ll get with me is total honesty and a ‘no worries’ energy. My managers have described me as someone who brings a fun, positive energy to a team, but I take the work – and the outcomes – very seriously. I’m a big believer that the best work happens when everyone is kept in the loop and the coffee is actually good. Whether I am managing technical projects or mentoring the next generation of filmmakers, my goal is always to make the complex accessible and the digital experience seamless.

Filmmaking and videography is a dance of passion and profession, but trying to bridge those two worlds is where real tension starts. You inevitably feel like you’ve come down Compromise Road, questioning whether you’re going to prioritise security over creative control. It’s that gritty reality they never teach you about, a reality that has to be experienced first-hand – the part about hustling to make ends meet while you try to sustain your own journey, the part where you’re hit with your first tax bill, the part where you have to work at Foodland stocking shelves. But when you step back and reflect on the evolution of it all, you see that it’s not actually a compromise; it’s your unique creative journey. You might not have made a viral hit or an award winning feature film, but if you truly believe in the process, then you’ve not compromised a day in your life.
