After graduating with a BA in Film from the University of Surrey and a Motion Picture Diploma from Brighton Film School, Kris won a place at MetLab; a Screenwriting Scheme to develop the ten best undiscovered screenwriters in Britain.

Kris’ screenplays were subsequently showcased by Sundance, the online Black List, and the Edinburgh Film Festival, and he was also the winner of the Screen Craft Comedy Screenwriting Contest in Los Angeles.

Kris has since received many feature film script commissions from prominent Hollywood and UK studios, and recently sold his first television pilot to John Goldwyn and Universal. His first film ‘The Bright Lights’, directed by Michael Hoffman (One Fine Day) and produced by Cary Brokaw (Angels in America), is set to shoot later this year.

Kris has also written many op-eds for such publications as The Independent, Wisden cricket quarterly and Noble Rot magazine.
