Humble Brag

Chris Capretto is from the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio—just like all those other nice people you know from Ohio. After getting an undergraduate degree in microbiology, he decided that working in a lab wasn't for him. A lifelong passion for filmmaking took him to the big city of Chicago in pursuit of film school. One rejection letter later, Chris began chasing work as a PA in the exciting world of table top commercial production while taking evening shifts at a neighborhood video rental store (remember those???) to help cover the bills. 

An internship at a film camera rental house paved the way for a career in the camera department, and after a few years, job opportunities finally lured him to Los Angeles. Chris worked as a camera assistant on everything from student shorts, small independent films, big budget features, episodic television and commercials until one day his surfing buddy suggested he interview at an advertising agency. That interview turned into a job as an agency producer, and eventually led to making spots for brands like Playstation, Nissan, Pepsi, Nike, Coca-Cola, Chrysler, and Old Spice. 

Chris currently resides with his family in Portland and continues to make ads and films. Go on…hire him already!
