While working for London Underground, Kris was given the opportunity to write, direct and produce the sound track to a short film. The film was originally funded by Kris and he was to be reimbursed on approval by TFL(Transport for London). Having won the right to make the film in a competition open to 19 000 employees, he set about the daunting task of, "how does one make a film when given the approval to do so?". Armed with only a 10 minute treatment of a script, a love of film and music, Kris got to work. A lucky break came when discussing the project with a friend and colleague, Anthony Smalley. Tony had gone to Uni with Shaye Leonard and Alexis Bicart. Shaye and Alexis had been working on films for 10 years prior to this conversation. Why Tony decided to keep this information to himself for nigh on 5 years of their friendship will always be a mystery but nevertheless, phone calls were made and after a few meeting they all knew that the four of them would be making a film together. One thing led to another and they ended up getting some quite high profile actors and crew involved in the project and the ball was really rolling by day 1 of the shoot. As with most first time directors, Kris was eager and passionate but had probably bitten off more than he could chew with a 25 actor, 8 story, 18 location script that needed to be filmed in 7 days and edited down to the "What is London's" film competition criteria (and then get his money back). Getting a free pass to all London Underground stations and bus depots proved invaluable experience for the crew, allowing for a one take steady-cam shot from a Piccadilly Line tube train traveling through a tunnel, up through 5 floors of escalators during peak traffic to be filmed. Sadly due to the time restraints on the film, this was one of many shots that hit the editors floor. The film in theory added up to a far greater product than the film itself, but still got nominated for Best Short Film in the competition and he got his cash back. Kris wasn't deterred by his lack of experience and continues to write and collaborate to produce one of his upcoming features. The directing will be left to the directors in the future tho.
