05 / BEHIND THE WORK

Hello, I'm Chris.

I make ideas happen — with people, a camera, and a smart use of AI.

I’m rooted in Northern Ireland and love working with local people, businesses and organisations — as well as teams further afield. I direct, film, edit, photograph and build digital experiences that help good ideas reach people.

A little more about me

I started in theatre and documentary storytelling, including work with Theatre of Witness. That experience still shapes how I work: listen closely, find the human story, then make something people want to watch, share or use.

I use AI thoughtfully — to explore ideas, speed up routine tasks and make more room for creative work. The best projects still start with trust, conversation and human connection. I make things happen by bringing those pieces together.

For over four years, I’ve dreamed of having a website for my business, Fjord Bakery. Pillarpix Media effortlessly transformed the photos and content from my social media into a beautifully designed website that truly captures the essence of my brand. The entire process was seamless, thanks to his professionalism and expertise. I couldn’t be happier with the result and am delighted to recommend Chris for his website skills.

We have worked with Chris and Pillarpix over the past two years in growing the All Ireland Rosary Rally. We have found their work to be very creative and innovative in developing a website, videos and getting the word out through Social Media. We would have no problem in recommending Pillarpix to others who wish to grow their online marketing presence.
