Testimonials for Chris Bunton

I recently worked with Chris Bunton on my feature film ‘Down Under’. He is one of the hardest working people I have collaborated with on any of my projects. Chris was thrown into the deep end, working with some of Australia’s most experienced actors. It was amazing to see him rise to the occasion and deliver a performance that became the beating heart of the film. Chris’ understanding and interpretation of the role of Evan, raised the integrity of my story and made it all the more powerful for the audience. He is a hardworking, articulate and intelligent man, with a brilliant outlook on the world. I feel very lucky to have met him, in what I consider to be the first of many collaborations in the future.
