Hello. My name is Chad Calease. I was most often the ‘new kid’ because my family moved around extensively while I was growing up. Sometimes awkwardness can be an asset. Not always having pals around can be rough in a way but good in another because it means we have to entertain ourselves. For me, being in that situation forced me to use my imagination to create my own play and to learn about things I was interested in. This experience was vital not only for developing the tools required of a self-taught artist but, more importantly, for learning to navigate in the world while becoming an active and responsible participant in it.
My navigating and participation has led me to the practice of filmmaking.
I am currently working on my next film, a feature-length work of fiction.
