Chris Nabholz’s Summary
In a short amount of time I have gotten to work on a number of feature films that used a wide variety of lighting and compositing techniques.
The different variety of films has greatly expanded my skill set as well as provided me the chance to meet and work with a lot of other talented professionals.
My desire is to continue working on fun and exciting projects that continually challenge me and improve my abilities as an artist and allow me to travel the globe.
