​

I’m Chris Raddatz — a cinematographer, producer, and journalist with a background that cuts across documentaries, digital media, narrative and news. I’ve spent over a decade telling stories in all kinds of different formats, from longform investigations to short-form series, and more recently, as the host and producer of Snapchat's Good Luck Los Angeles.

​

Along the way, I’ve worked with teams at Snap Originals, Seven Bucks, Chipotle, Duncan Channon, The Academy Musuem... I've helped launch shows, led campaigns, and picked up a few Emmys for projects I’m proud of. A lot of my work lives at the intersection of fast-paced digital and cinematic storytelling — figuring out how to make something that hits, even as you’re watching on your phone.

​

I started in documentary and news, which taught me how to cut through noise and stay focused on what matters. I move fast, find the heart of a story, and stay grounded in truth. That mindset doesn't change, even when the format does.
