Kris Serold
Video-ologist, Tyrannosaurus Tech, Deep Space Editor, and Renaissance Man in Training
Since the beginning of man...Nope, too far.
I was born and raised in sunny San Antonio. Since high school I've been steeped in video production. From Say Si, 3 Day Film Festivals, short films, to video production at the Aztec Theatre, I had to put on many different hats to get these jobs done. Now, I'm using my experiences and my skills to tell effective stories that connect with audiences.
