Chris Ray is one of the youngest and hardest-working filmmakers in skateboarding today. He got where he is today by taking initiative and chasing his dream, not letting it slip away from him. Instead of being a talented filmmaker whose lap skate videos just kind of fell into, Chris knew he wanted to film skate videos and had to develop the skill, make the connections, and purchase the equipment along the way. Today, with an extremely impressive list of projects behind him, he continues to build his reputation as the now principle filmer for DC shoes while taking breaks to film Street League now and then. With his young age and insatiable drive to keep progressing, Chris looks to have a long, long career left in front of him. Chris Ray takes us through his entire inspiring journey of determination and drive, showing us how he got to where he is. We go over stuff like: How he got his first break on Fully Flared The Berrics REDirect competition and his entry Being the head of filming for DC What it’s like to film Nyjah Street League After hearing this episode, hit up Chris and say “HI” by finding him on his website or social media below!
