Chris Hoffert

Chris Hoffert is an award-winning film director and writer and graduated Cum Laude from the Academy of Art University, receiving a B.F.A. and an A.A. in motion pictures and television. While directors and writers are a dime a dozen these days he is what they call a "diamond in the rough." His work ethic, tenacity, ambition, and exceptional potential is what sets him apart from his contemporaries. He is exceptionally skilled with taking the least and making the most of it which makes him a huge financial asset to any production he works on. He believes that every penny spent needs to be worth its weight in gold, and because of his unique abilities to film more and spend less, his films cost much less than what others would spend to achieve the same results. His capacity to turn out highly regarded grind-house-style westerns for fractions of a budget earned him the nickname "The Sergio Leone of Montana" by his Hollywood mentors.

Chris has been doing filmmaking for the last 16 years. His strengths are directing, editing, sound design, cinematography, and script writing. His impeccable storytelling capabilities, both through writing and creative direction, have been showcased in various projects from personal to commercial work he's done. His reputation for going above and beyond what is expected of him will certainly be an asset to any production he works on. Since 2006 he has primarily worked in the indie film sector and has written, directed, or produced over 35 digital audio/video projects. He is always looking for the next ambitious challenge to tackle.

Chris has also served in various technical roles as a historical consultant for period militaria for productions. He has over twenty years of combined personal study and research on period garments, equipment, weapons, and horsemanship. He maintains various memberships with historical societies and frequently engages with other authors, historians, and battle students online to keep history relevant in a way that books simply cannot.
