About the Filmmaker
Chris Alan Evans
Chris Alan Evans is a Shreveport-area native, graduating from Haughton High School and Northwestern State University with a degree in Journalism. He spent 15 years as a broadcaster, before pursuing his film-making and acting dreams full-time. As a radio personality and Program Director, Chris won three Major Market awards from the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters, twice winning Radio Station of the year. Known on-air as “The Kissin’ Bandit,” he also won the Mudbug Madness Celebrity Crawfish Eating Contest three times. As a filmmaker, he’s a producer, writer, and part of the cast of the forthcoming feature thriller, The Fetch. In 2022 he was the lead role and producer of Peeping Todd, which was awarded the Founder’s Circle grant by Louisiana Film Prize, and would eventually go on to become Oscar-qualified through the Indy Shorts International Film Festival. Chris is a caregiver to his mother Patricia, and enjoys cooking, chess, and magic mushrooms.
Alexander Jeffery
Alexander Jeffery hails from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was raised in El Dorado, Arkansas and is now based in Shreveport, Louisiana where he co-owns the production company Bespoke Works LLC with his friend and longtime collaborator, Paul Petersen. After receiving a double major in Theatre Performance and Film & New Media from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2011, Alexander moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams of acting and filmmaking. Quickly realizing Los Angeles wasn’t the right fit for him, Alexander moved back to the south to make low-budget, independent films with his friends.
His first feature film, A Chance Encounter, was released by Samuel Goldwyn Films in October of 2022, both theatrically and on-demand, after winning the audience choice award at Heartland Film Festival in 2020. In 2015, his short film The Bespoke Tailoring of Mister Bellamy won the $50,000 Grand Prize at the Louisiana Film Prize. MTV called it “an acutely relevant, achingly human film.” Alexander’s latest feature, Days of Daisy, was recently picked up for distribution by Good Deed Entertainment, and his first feature-length documentary, You Have No Idea, won the Audience Choice award for Best Southern Feature at the Oscar-qualifying Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival in 2022.
