About
HISTORICAL MEDIA CREATIVE
http://www.christophermaudsley.tumblr.com/ @chris_maudsley
Having previously worked making travel documentaries for the cruise industry and as a visual effects artist in the independent film sector, my main passion is for communicating little known historical stories for documentary and drama. I make videos for local heritage and history groups.
