Creativity + Technical Mastery = Expertise

MY NAME IS
CHRIS TINARD

 

I am passionate about what I do, telling stories.  I enjoy every aspect of the story telling process.  From producing, interviewing, directing and editing I love telling great stories that touches people’s heart.  I believe in the power of authenticity and the unique strength in combining great visuals with amazing sounds. 

From documentaries to marketing videos I will always look to create an emotional connection with the audience.  For without emotions all we do is scream in the wind.

MY STORY

 

Born in France in the suburb of Paris, I moved to the US in 1992 to pursue my dream of playing College basketball.

I received a full athletic scholarship from Montana State University – Billings in 1993.

After completing my College career, I moved back to France to play in Europe.

I met my wife Julie while on a trip to Arizona in 2000, and it was love at first sight, I still haven’t returned from that trip.  We have 4 beautiful kids who are all strong pasionate individuals.  

I open my production company (OrangeScreen Productions) in 2004, with no experience.  Everything I know I had to learn on the job.  I've worked on just about anything outside of Feature films, TV commercials, marketing videos, Live broadcast, but my heart is in documentaries.
