Kris R. Bird (born 14 September 1982)

Producer, Cinematographer

Kris is a young veteran of the Visual Effects industry, having worked as a 3D & VFX Artist since the age of 16, including a stint in the US, and later as a senior VFX Artist on Grant Theft Auto 4 at the world-renowned Rockstar North studio. Kris’ career shift began when he founded Mothcatcher with director Kerry Anne Mullaney in 2003. His 8 years of experience as a ‘technical artist’ made Kris a natural in an unusual combination of roles, and he became the company’s Producer & Cinematographer. Kris transitioned quickly from organising live-event shoots (The Children’s Orchestra of New York, folk band The Picts) to acting as Producer/ Cinematographer for a string of broadcast Music Videos for some major record labels (Warner, Empire, Korova). Kris’ first feature film, The Dead Outside enjoyed an award-winning international festival run, and has been released in more than a dozen territories world-wide (including the UK, North America, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia). Kris currently divides his time between co-managing Mothcatcher’s film production slate, and as a Director and enginner for film-industry electronics manufacturer RT Motion Systems.
