Chris
Metzler graduated from USC with a degree in business and
cinema.
His film directing and producing work has resulted in frequent
partnerships with Jeff Springer, where together they've made their
way in the Nashville country and Christian music video industries,
before finally forsaking their souls to commercial LA rock n’
roll.
These misadventures eventually culminated in their winning a
Billboard
Magazine Music Video Award.
Chris finished traveling the theatrical circuit promoting his John
Waters’ narrated documentary, Plagues and
Pleasures on the Salton Sea, which premiered at the Slamdance
Film Festival and won both the HBO Producer’s Award and the Robert
Altman Award.
He is a recipient of the Bay Area Video Coalition’s AEA Award and has
previously received funding support from the Pacific
Pioneer Fund and the Fleishhacker Fund.
