Indie Filmmaker and Hollywood Stuntman Christopher Leps will be
visiting the Full Sail Campus on Thursday, November 29th to talk to
students about finding their niche in the film industry. A member of
the Screen Actors Guild, the American Film Institute, and the
American Federation of Television & Radio Artists, Chris is a
nominee and winner of a Screen Actors Guild Award in recognition of his
performances in both television and film.
Chris’
diverse career in entertainment began at the Walt Disney Company in
1989. His passion for motion pictures, combined with his athletic
background, led Chris to stunt performances in more than 130 episodes of
television and over 30 feature films, including 24, Alias, CSI, Avatar,
The Adventures of Tintin, and the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, which
included stunt doubling Johnny Depp in the latest installment, On
Stranger Tides.
As a storyteller, Chris has written,
produced, edited, and directed a number of spec commercials, shorts, and
festival award-winning documentaries. Chris’ current short film
Wholehearted will be screened at this event.

Christopher answered questions from the audience of students from
several different degree programs. It was very helpful for my career
development, which is exactly why they created the "In Flight Movie"
program through the Career Development Center to help students be able to connect with industry professionals for networking towards the career of their dreams.
In addition to his visit to camups, I supported this movie through this site:
