CHRIS 'GOA' FARRUGIA
"For me, it's all about telling the best possible story through beautiful aesthetics & form. Whether it is photography, videography, VFX, motion graphics, editing, or sound-design I always strive to take the utmost advantage of the medium I'm using to propel the narrative to new heights."
Hello, this is Chris.
Born on the sunny island of Malta. Class of 1987. Chris's first flirt with the creative arts came through his love for electronic music. After having some of his music released on various international record labels, he started to develop a passion for the audiovisual sector. After graduating in media (moving-image) at the MCAST Institute for the Creative Arts in 2012, Chris launched his freelancing career specializing in post-production and photography.
Today, he has been part of numerous projects, both within the commercial & creative sectors.
