Christopher M. Nicholls is an independent filmmaker based between Tokyo and London with a diverse range of experience across documentary, branded content, and commercial.

Equally comfortable working on large productions (past partners include HBO, Netflix, The BBC, and Disney+) as he is on smaller shoots as director-shooter, Chris welcomes projects of all sizes and thrives in the collaborative nature of filmmaking.

As a filmmaker he aims to tell authentic, genuine human-driven stories, something that resonates with audiences more than ever in a crowded media landscape increasingly overwhelmed with AI content.

As a cinematographer Christopher is well known for his use of composition, camera movement, and pacing.

His standout cinematography work on the BBC's Tokyo Olympics title sequence directed by Factory Fifteen won the BAFTA for Best Titles, as well as awards from Ciclope, British Arrows, and leading industry outlets like Campaign, Broadcast, and Shots.
