Chris Bamford Senior Creative

My favourite part of being an editor is watching someone watch a story I’ve helped create. If they have an emotional response, whatever that is – excitement, empathy, anger, sadness – it means I’ve done my job.

Chris is an award-winning director and editor who joined WildBear in 1999 after studying Media and Communications at the University of Canberra. As director, Chris’ work includes Believing in Australia (ABC) How to Build a City (Discovery Channel), Building to the Sky (Discovery Channel) and World War 2: Hell on Earth (Histoire).

As an editor, Chris’s work includes Stranded (ABC), Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks (MIFF, Netflix), RIDE (ABC), Ford Vs. Holden (Universal), RUNN (Fox Sports) and The Raftsmen: An Ocean Odyssey.
