CHRIS LOW

is a director and cinematographer who hails from Brooklyn, NY and currently splits his time between Los Angeles and New York. He graduated from NYU’s Tisch film program and is haunted by a long overdue college library fee he continually forgets to pay. His excuse for this is his ongoing engagement making commercial, narrative, and documentary films which has brought him across the globe to far-flung places such as Iraq and the Congo.

Much of his work is steeped in mood and emotional resonance but he is known in some circles to have a deft hand at writing comedy. He is also 1st generation Chinese-American and rather opinionated in matters of art and food. Outside of commercial and documentary work he is developing several narrative feature scripts. His short, Black Ghost Son, premiered and was nominated for Best Narrative Short at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2020. It is currently being developed into a feature.

You may have seen him sweating his ass off in season 2 of Amazon’s Making The Cut filming Raf Swiader’s video campaign.
