Holding two bachelor’s degrees in marketing and film, Chris used his business acumen and love for art together to create Calliope Films in 2015. 

Veronique and Ramsey sat down with Chris on this episode of the Practical Rebels podcast to talk about everything from the rise of the local film community in Pensacola and his sketch comedy troupe “Kitty Get A Job” to the importance of shaking hands in business and learning to listen to ideas. His determination and dedication to his craft has led to a wide range of clients, including a years-long relationship with the A&E network on popular crime shows. Similarly, his comedy team also caught the attention and deserved mentorship of Kevin McDonald, the Canadian sketch comic from The Kids in the Hall.
