“Chris consistently created space for all voices at the table… The subject matter itself was both culturally and politically sensitive, and it was essential that the final product reflect accuracy, respect, and balance. Chris handled these complexities with professionalism and care. The resulting videos were not only high quality, but also practical and impactful.”

Tracy Hazelton, DIVISION DIRECTOR, ALAMEDA COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT

“He and his team did their best to make City staff and community members feel at ease during filming … and developed insightful interview questions that effectively elicited authentic and purposeful remarks that helped tell an impactful story.”

Tanya Bustamante, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, HEALTH HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, CITY OF BERKELEY

“I was involved with a collaborative project between a number of Alameda County agencies and community based organizations. We contracted with Faber Productions based on their body of work and obvious skills. What we received was far beyond our expectations. With so many partners and stakeholders, there were bound to be many different viewpoints, opinions, and expectations. Chris proved himself to be a skilled listener who was not only able to hear the numerous needs of his clients, but also find the balance between all those viewpoints and interpret them in a way on film that was amazing. He was professional, passionate about his work, and had a seemingly endless amount of patience. In the end, every one of our partners and collaborators were blown away and happy with the product.”

Janice Chin, ALAMEDA COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT

“I was honored to collaborate with Faber Productions on a short social action documentary. Chris is original, bold, nuanced, and a perfectionist. His extensive screenwriting experience was invaluable as we worked to craft the perfect story arc. Chris expertly extracted the most touching moments from hours of footage, then molded these elements together into a clear, emotional story with impact.

Our viewers were riveted — and led to action.”

Naomi Ture, DIRECTOR, A PERFECT DONOR

“Chris is a creative and constructive problem-solver who manifested our ideas and vision. Our project involved Black and Brown high school interns interviewing community agency leaders about their agencies’ impacts on the Berkeley community. Chris managed to bring out the best in our high school interns when it was their turn to be in front of the camera and understood the importance of highlighting their valuable contributions in the video. He brings great professionalism and passion to his work.”
