I’m Chris Rish,

a Producer, Director and Cinematographer with credits in television, film & new media.

How might I help you today?

Have we worked together?

I’m most often a lighting cameraman, drone pilot or water shots specialist who works across genre and format.

I’m passionate about great storytelling, beautiful image-making, and exploring what it means to be alive today.  I try and reference and appreciate the natural world through my work when appropriate.

I’m based in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Where might we shoot next?

USF Soccer

I have three fancy papers covered in calligraphy and official signatures from the University of South Florida. I originally moved to Tampa Bay to study marine biology and play D1 college soccer. USF became a consistent part of my life. I hung around long enough to collect those papers and then become a client, an instructor and eventually, a professor.

Many of the best times in my life happened in here in Florida, and I created this mini-documentary to help Coach Butehorn bring another generation of top talent to Tampa Bay.
