I'm Kristopher Villa — a commercial DP and editor based in Chicago, IL. I work at the intersection of visual craft and brand strategy, shooting and cutting content that feels as good as it performs.
From high-energy event production and movement & sports content to polished commercial spots and post production — I bring a cinematic eye to every frame, and keep it sharp all the way through the edit.
Working 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.
