Now Chris is teaching in the Screen Arts program at the Nova Scotia Community College in Halifax.
As a producer Chris has produced and directed 50 episodes of a weekly movie review show.

Across all those roles, Chris has a drive to understand things, to take them apart, rethink them and contribute to their understanding. With a deep interest in the documentary form he has explored new ways of combining old and new media to create compelling, interactive stories. He believes that rethinking can lead to original insight. By understanding how things work, we can understand how they can work better in the future.
