Originally headed for the theatre, Chris Muir took a detour after getting his BFA in Acting and picked up a camera instead – working for years as a photographer and cinematographer in his hometown of Toronto, Canada. His segue into directing capitalized on his mutual love for both visual and performance-based content – with an eye for a good frame, and a passion for working closely with actors. His Escape Series was recently chosen as featured artwork on the Samsung Frame, and hung in the Louvre.

Chris is currently represented by Radke Films in Canada, and lives in Toronto with his wife and three kids.
