DIRECTOR’S BIO

Chaney is a Boston-based director whose storytelling is a collision of culture, nostalgia, and history—filtered through a lens inspired by early 2000s skate films, music, and the echoes of the past. His work isn’t just seen; it’s felt, shaped by a deep commitment to visual storytelling as a tool for human connection.

From commercial projects to films and documentaries, Chaney crafts narratives that pulse with authenticity, emotion, and purpose. His approach to cinematography is rooted in historical reinterpretation, using unconventional angles and perspectives to challenge the way stories are told—both visually and narratively. He creates space for fresh insight, bridging the past with the present, driven by those who came before him and inspired to pave the way for those who follow. 

Though known for his striking visuals, sound design is just as integral to his storytelling. Music, verbal expression, and natural noises are weaved through his work, shaping mood, memory, and meaning—heightening the emotional depth of every frame. Through a fusion of imagery and sound, Chaney doesn’t just tell stories; he immerses audiences in them.
