About Chris Fenwick
Chris Fenwick has a 40 year history of creating broadcast television and corporate video projects that started years before even owning a computer. As a broadcaster and an early adopter of what we used to to call “desktop video”, Chris brings a unique perspective to what we now do everyday.
In 2007 Chris moved his personal edit suite into Slice Editorial in Oakland, CA where he spends his time catering to Fortune 100 companies. In late 2008 he was an early adopter of the Canon DSLRs being used in digital cinema and perfecting their use in his workflow. Podcasting and social media turned into a great way for Chris to share his thoughts and views on the world of digital cinema and post production. A COVID inspired interest in streaming technology has kept him busy for the past 3 years.
