Chris' first major project was with his classmate, actress Katina Latrell. The two met while they were in college in their hometown of Houston, Texas. They worked on the hit TV series, "Friday Night Lights" together which filmed in Austin, Texas as extras. The two became so close that when they moved to Los Angeles, their apartments were directly across the hall from each other. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, Chris decided to write and direct his first project which was a web-series entitled, "Heavenly Help." He needed an actress that he could trust to play the angel; He chose Katina. That series claimed the 'Best New Media' at the Burbank International Film Festival.
