Chris Parayno
Senior Producer
2 years.
I like telling stories of our community through the art of digital.
I am excited to see when Nā Leo becomes a household name when it comes to being the leading experts in the film industry along with the go for community story telling.
I like to keep up with anything aviation related; new planes and technologies. My aviation fascination also stems into building and flying FPV quadcopters.
I love to eat Japanese food, especially unique types of seafood. One of my favorite dishes is ankimo.
I can't live without my family. My family is everything to me and they are the reason I moved back to the Big Island.
I started like all intro levels production folks, which includes primarily setting things up and camera operating. I am now able to confidently take on different projects and/or shoots and lead a small team.
I liked working on the "Sister City - Oshima" project. I learned alot from putting together the film about the relationship between the Big Island of Hawaiʻi and "Oshima Island" of Japan.
Producing a great film is about good storytelling and the personʻs vision behind the camera. Everything else is secondary.
