Frey gets thick with Thieves
Filmmaker Christopher Frey has joined Thick as Thieves for commercial representation. His short film Explosions was a recent staff pick on Vimeo, where it got more than 100,000 views.
“Chris’s film is pure cinema – he is a remarkable new talent and part of the new wave of filmmakers boldly crossing technical and aesthetic boundaries normally unaccessible to new directors,” says Thick as Thieves EP Nik Beachman.
