Following a twelve year stint in special forces in both British and US armies, Chris Byrne has worked in the American film industry for the last fifteen years, gaining experience as an actor, a stuntman, a military tech advisor, a camera assistant and operator, a director and a producer, in both independent and studio features. This broad range of onset experience gives him an invaluable, practical understanding of what is needed to make a successful film. He has worked closely with some of the greatest directors of our times – his credits (as an actor) include James Cameron’s Titanic, Costas Gavras’ Mad City, and John McTiernan’s Basic (for which he also provided military tech advice). His credits as a camera assistant include Luke Wilson’s Wendell Baker Story and Jeb Stuart’s Blood Done Sign Thy Name. Additionally, he has directed and produced his own award-winning WW2 short film The Table.
