Chris Hoffman is a broadcast camera operator, cinematographer, photographer, and editor, born and raised in Exton, PA.  After high school, he moved to another part of the country, where he earned both his Master of Fine Arts degree in Film Production and his Bachelor of Science degree in Film at Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL.  Both throughout and after his college experience, Chris has taken creative strive to be professional as a filmmaker in many positions.

​

While at Full Sail, he work on 30+ projects, including, but not limited to, the positions of editor, camera operator, lighting grip, and boom mic operator.  The one project he is most proud of is his role as the 2nd Assistant Cameraperson for his Award-Winning Master's Program's Thesis Film, New Kid In Town.  In both that production and many other productions he worked on, he has the experience of being in Hollywood-like productions in soundstages and backlots that were ready and available right on the college's campus.  

​

After college, Chris would go on to work for many different types of companies, which allowed him to have a unique understanding of the entertainment industry.  Chris started out as a Video Production Manager for Coach Santiago at a local sporting organization in Florida, where he worked on player reels, vlogs, and even documented action going on within the organization.  Then, he would go on to work as a Temp for the Audio/Visual company, PSAV in their Orlando, FL branch.  Over there, Chris got to organize video files for Hilton Conferences produced by the company, simplifying the process of navigating through past events on hard drives.

​

However, in the Summer of 2019, Chris made the decision to move back to his hometown of Exton, PA.  He would continue to do filmmaking-related activities for the next 4 years, but then he finally got his big break in the Summer of 2023, when he got a spot as a broadcast camera operator and simulcast operator for Delaware Park and Casino.  Chris is now currently operating on-site cameras for the horse races that take place in this venue for archiving and steward-reviewing purposes.  And when the track is off-season, Chris spends the chilly Pennsylvania months working as a Field Technician for SportsMEDIA Technologies.  He carefully monitors graphics and trackers within the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils games.

​

Chris plans to use his current experience and side hobbies as motivation for continuing to pursue his passions of visual entertainment.  He hopes to work his way up towards a full-time position within the industry.  In the meantime, he also has music production as a side job.
