Welcome to the online portfolio of Chris Northcross - videographer, visualist, editor, and one of the former staff producers on Barack Obama's Presidential campaign.
I'm versatile; I often operate as a one man band. I shoot and edit my own footage. I specialize in short-form web documentaries but am open to corporate, narrative and experimental projects.

This is an excerpt from a film I’ve been editing called “My Favorite Neocon”. The director, Yael Luttwak, has been estranged from her father Edward for nearly 10 years.
They’re diametrically opposed idealogically- she is very liberal while he is noted as one of the more influential neoconservative writers during the 80’s & 90’s. Yael made the film as a way to attempt to understand and reconcile with her father and offered me a chance to work with her on my first feature.
In this scene, Edward visits a television studio to participate in an interview with Italian television (he speaks at least 6 different languages!) about the (then) upcoming American Presidential election.
This was a fun, but challenging project as it was shot in 3 different formats (1080i 29.97 HD, PAL - SD and NTSC 24p on three different cameras. Because of budget constraints, we didn’t have a assistant either. But the subject matter and the characters were really interesting and Yael was a great director to work with. Very positive learning experience for me.
