Chris Simpson studied art at the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago, entered UT Arlington with an interest in art & graphic
design... but an early screenwriting course and lack of raw talent
changed all of that.
Chris began a focus in film and quickly developed an expertise for all
levels of production. Besides producing numerous projects for other
students, Chris expanded UTA's Student Film & Video Organization, its
annual film festival and initiated a project grant for film students at
UTA.
In association with Sai Selvarajan and Johhny Rutledge, Chris now heads
up Black Leader Films... a Dallas-based Independent Film
Collusion.
