MEET THE CREW
Chris Layer
Co- Founder / Owner
JORDAN HARMS
Co- Founder / Owner
Think a little deeper, work a little harder.
Jordan has an unmatched eye (and ear) for detail. Whether that's directing, filming, editing, or simply bouncing ideas off Chris to tell a proper, well-rounded story, he has an instinct for what makes a project tick. With an electric personality and a creative, cerebral mind, he has a gift for storytelling and a keen sense of humor to boot. He’s a thoughtful guy who balances his artistic intellect with methodical proficiency. Also sporting a BFA in Digital Cinema Arts from Lindenwood University, and experience reaching from independent contracting to professional television, he is a highly accomplished, well-versed creator. Like Chris, his persona is unmistakable and found both on screen and on our podcasts. Without the unique touch of Jordan's intuition, the brand of 'Big Forest' would be simply unrecognizable.
Chris is our resident idea machine, with a mind for storytelling. Aside from managing schedules, call sheets, and organizing projects, you’ll just as soon find him in an editing chair next to Jordan, or in the field with a camera in hand and a smile on his face. Sometimes you’ll see him with a clipboard. Other times, you'll find him holding a boom pole while monitoring audio. But most likely, he's writing; usually a treatment, a script, or a social media post. Brandishing a BFA in Digital Cinema Arts from Lindenwood University, Chris has extensive experience with wedding videos, short films, and professional television. If you're familiar with our work, you’ll certainly recognize Chris on screen and on our podcasts. With a warm, friendly demeanor and an imaginative approach, he's the kind of guy you want with you on your quest to bring your vision to reality.
Dream a little grander, talk a little longer.

CAPSTONES
As Digital Cinema Arts majors at Lindenwood University, the culmination of our education was a short film, in which we would pour all our knowledge and creativity. Since we're both BFA's, we each made two. However, we've each selected our favorites for your viewing pleasure below.
CHRIS'S CAPSTONE, 'EQUIDISTANT'
JORDAN'S CAPSTONE, 'UNSUSPECTED'
