Chris Tellez is a student filmmaker who recently received his Associates of Science in Film & Television at Saddleback Community College. Born and raised in Torrance, CA he developed a passion for filmmaking when he first watched E.T. fly across the moon.

Prior to his student projects Chris was responsible for writing, shooting and directing various short films for his employers, with family and friends. At Saddleback College he was finally able to work with others who shared a love for making movies. There he wrote, directed, edited and served as an assistant director on a variety of student film projects.

Chris has a passion for making movies that explore the themes of deep interpersonal relationships and the common struggles people face in everyday life.

Chris now looks forward to making his formal entry in the film industry and working on films in a directorial or AD role.
