Chris Hird-Saunders
Chris H Saunders is a multi-disciplinary story teller. His work has been screened from the Toronto Macedonian Film Festival to the Toronto Independent Film Festival and beyond. Chris’ work has been praised by producers such as Dan Eisen of Pomegranate Pictures, Allan Levine, Reese Brunelle of B4 Studios, and legendary music producer John Brower (Revival 69).
Chris likes to place deeply flawed characters into absurd and scary situations, to see what is ultimately revealed about the human condition. When Chris isn’t working on story telling he enjoys bringing his creative vision to the world of live events, and works frequently as a Performing Arts Technician for clients such as The Aga Khan Museum and Google Canada.
