Award winning Director/Writer and Actor, Chase is the Founder of what is perhaps Georgia's busiest independent film production company - Spirit World Productions. Under that company Chase has written, directed, and produced, 8 feature films, multiple shorts, and music videos to date. As a writer/director Chase embraces the concept that independent or "low budget" never mean "low quality" and demands "big budget" results on lower budgeted films - an approach that is not lost when directing big budget films and leads them to even greater results.

Chase and his films have been nominated and/or won dozens of awards and been invited to Film Festivals and Conventions all over the world. With Awards for Directing, Writing, and Acting, Smith puts his heart and soul into every project he is a part of whether it is for his company Spirit World Productions or on other projects outside of his company.

Smith, his company Spirit World Productions, and their films have been featured in countless publications, articles, reviews, interviews and conventions.
