Stories By CWP

Films with Intent

Commercial · Documentary · Branded Content

Cinematic films and photography for brands, organizations and people with a story to tell.

The Approach

Every frame should earn its place. I build every shot around what you need people to feel and understand.

I’m Chris White, a cinematographer and photographer based in Stamford, CT. At the core of my approach is finding the real story and telling it in its best light, whether through documentary projects, brand films or ongoing media campaigns.

Intention

We define the story and the goal before a camera comes out.

Clarity

Simple, honest storytelling that lands with the right audience.

Impact

Films and stills built to be used, on your site, socials and beyond.
