Not only is he the consummate professional...collaborative, creative, experienced, and a talented owner operator from the camera to the edit bay...he is funny and a joy with whom to work!
Although our budget was minuscule, he took on the project as a labor of love and treated us as though we were his high-end clients. He wanted everything to be as good as it could be, and that's exactly what we got. He's a dream to work with. There's no drama with Chris, no attitude. Just a great cup of tea and a warm personality.
I was looking for an editor for my documentary feature film and found in Chris Layhe more than I knew I needed, wanted or thought possible. Chris was a calm in the storm that is documentary filmmaking, and made this dream project of my lifetime better and more successful than I could ever have imagined.
He is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, experienced and one of the most professional people I've worked with in the film industry (or any industry).
I highly recommend their services to any filmmaker who seeks not just an editor but an ADVOCATE, someone who will embrace your vision and do everything in their power to see it succeed.
What you've done, what you've accomplished, I thought should be recognized.
Chris’s competence, professionalism, intelligence, and mentoring spirit have made my experience of post-production so enjoyable and intellectually stimulating.
CLAi’s masterful color-grading and sound-sweetening work on our documentary was extraordinary, turning ragged footage into works of art.
