About the Reviewers

After standing in line for hours to watch Jurassic Park on the opening night, Chris Bryant was instantly hooked on motion pictures. He also realized at an early age that if you don't want to be filmed, you needed to be the one holding the camera! One of his first paychecks went to purchase an 8 mm camcorder, and his passion for video production has grown ever since. He edited his first video back in high school by chaining together two VCRs to create a thematic introduction to his senior project, and was a Media Arts major at Western Connecticut State University.

He eventually went on to start his own company in 2004 (look for Bryant Productions on Facebook!) and films a range of promotional and internal training videos for companies nationwide.

For fun he produces short films including The Other Half, the first place winner of the 2009 Connecticut Film Festival's 24 Hour Cup 'O Joe Filmmaking Competition. Chris has experience as a voiceover artist and event videographer.

When he isn't shooting video or editing, Chris enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and three dogs at their home in Connecticut.
