Let’s Work TogetherWorking with Kris Villa is always an absolute pleasure. For example, his communication leading up to and throughout our 2025 Media Day was excellent, and he went above and beyond by delivering a ton of high-quality footage that we used to announce our new kit and in videos throughout the season. Also, the edit that he created with the footage he captured was incredible. It was visually unique, had great sound design, and matched the style and feel of what we were looking for. His professionalism, versatility, and dedication can be seen in every project he works on. If you're in need of a videographer and an editor, he's the one to choose! I look forward to collaborating with him again on future projects.
From creative leadership and ideation to on the ground execution, working with Kris is always a pleasure. The level of quality he brings to every production is exactly what you look for when hiring for any sort of creative. I have been able to trust him in any type of situation or role and feel confident that the product will be what I expect and everyone he interacts with will enjoy those moments.
I had the pleasure of working with Kris to create social content for Toyota. Kris showed great ability to plan, creatively ideate, and problem-solve. In the field, Kris uses his time intentionally, is quick to adjust to unforeseen circumstances, and swiftly applies client feedback. He carries himself with great professionalism while maintaining a fun atmosphere during production. I hope to work with Kris again and appreciate his time and effort to create a great product.
