CHRIS COLE

director | cinematographer | editor

I’m Chris Cole, a Director of Photography and creative producer based in Carlsbad, California. I specialize in crafting cinematic stories that merge technical precision with authentic emotion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with brands like Spindrift Spiked, JS Industries, Avoura Pickleball, and Maui coffee companies, projects that let me combine my love for sports, lifestyle, and storytelling.

Whether I’m shooting on ARRI or Sony cinema systems, my focus is always on capturing natural light, movement, and connection in a way that feels both polished and real. I thrive on projects that push creative boundaries, from commercial campaigns to narrative films, and I bring the same energy and care to every frame.

As the founder of Chris Cole Films, I’m committed to building visual experiences that resonate beyond the screen, projects that inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impression.
