My name is Chris Conti, I’m a French writer/director and composer. I shoot, edit, produce and score my films.

Cinema caught me early. As a child, I watched films like windows into other worlds, places to get lost in and dream through. Soon enough, I wanted to create my own. I studied visual arts, then filmmaking, to learn how to shape images, build stories and bring those inner landscapes to life.

Then, without warning, music came into my life. In a flash, I found myself on stage, then in the studio, driven by rhythm, energy and urgency. It was raw, instinctive, sometimes chaotic. Rock taught me to create in the moment, to improvise, to find truth in letting go.

When I came back to cinema, something had shifted. The image alone wasn’t enough. It had to vibrate. My creative world took shape between eye and ear, between framing and tempo. I try to film the way I’d play a song: with silence, tension and impulses. Always chasing that one emotion that stays with you.

In the course of the last few years, I’ve been lucky enough to work with amazing people such as Fanny Carbonnel (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Ready Player One), David Richardson (A-Z of Horror, Doctors, Shameless), Mickael Abbate (Phantasmagoria, Feu-Follet) and the talented composer Luca Salis (Lost, The Sensational Spider-Man Webseries).
