Chris earned his Accounting Degree from the UO in 2005, but his passion for the wild world was always center stage and has had a camera in his hands since the age of 10.  Chris’s first photos of a brown bear came at the age of 11, and he has never looked back.  In 2013, a trip to Africa renewed in him a deep love for photography and the wild places of this world, and it set him on the path he follows today.  In 2014 he was awarded Honorable Mention in both the IPA and ND awards for his photographic work in Africa.  In 2016 he was awarded honorable mention in the International Photography Awards for Nature and Wildlife photographic for his continued work with wildlife in Africa.  His work has been used by NatGeo, BBC Earth, and WildAid among others.  In 2019, Chris produces a series of VR wildlife short stories which were licensed multiple times across Europe and Asia.  These pieces were able to provide up close, intimate experiences with wildlife that is unsafe to view in the real world.  Chris worked extensively in VR between 2017 and 2020 and while he still loves the medium, now focuses primarily on cinematic wildlife film production. 

Alan Lacy is a multi-award winning filmmaker and producer based in the Desert Southwest. He is passionate about the natural world and telling stories that make the world a better place for both nature and humankind. With a background in business within the aviation industry, he adapted his skills to producing wildlife films and operating cameras - and fell in love with it. His first film, “Gray Area: Wolves of the Southwest” is an award winning documentary that has screened internationally. His work has aired on National Geographic, with more upcoming work soon to air on NatGeo Wild, Disney+, and PBS Nature. Currently, he is producing several independent films featuring wolverines and burrowing owls. His love for nature and the outdoors fuels his passion to connect people with the awe and wonder of the natural world. Alan lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and is often out exploring desert wildlife, or tracking Mexican gray wolves up in the high country of the state if he's not trapped behind the desk editing his next film.
