Chris Malta

Creative Director

The Empire Strikes Back lit the match for Chris Malta. In a dark theatre, with a bucket of popcorn on his lap, a young Chris watched, in awe, the famous lightsaber scenes. It was then that he knew he had to learn how to recreate this magic. So he studied hours of YouTube videos on how to make virtual bullets, use green screens and create special effects. Then, he convinced his parents to buy him the video editing software he would need. He posted his first mini-movie on YouTube and the rest is, as they say, history.

His laser-focused path continued throughout high school and into University, where he studied film. To this day, he’s never left the world of video and effects. From being a freelance wedding videographer to overseeing AV for a hotel, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone more passionate about his craft.
