Independent cinematographer · Phoenix / Worldwide
The most powerful stories are authentic.
We uncover what is unique and true about every organization, person, and story—then shape it into a cinematic film that communicates clearly and connects genuinely.
Experience + approach
Twenty years of experience. One clear point of view.
Christophe has directed, shot, and edited films for Fortune 100 companies, agencies, nonprofits, and independent documentaries—bringing the same curiosity and care to an executive interview as to a story unfolding in the field.
Listen first. Find the human center.
The process is personal and collaborative: understand what matters, shape an honest story, then build a nimble crew and cinematic visual language around it. Clients work with an experienced creative partner from the first conversation through the final cut.

Christophe Tinard
Experience makes space for what’s honest.
Born near Paris and based in Phoenix, Christophe has spent more than two decades making films across corporate, documentary, editorial, and nonprofit worlds.
He produces, interviews, directs, shoots, and edits—bringing clients a clear creative point of view without the weight of a large agency. The result is a set that feels calm, a process that stays nimble, and films that find the human story inside the brief.
The best corporate films don’t feel corporate. They feel true.
Beyond the brief
Documentary. Education. Community.
