Carrying that foundational passion for the big-screen experience into the digital era, Chase continues to champion independent filmmaking, cross-cultural IP, and the enduring magic of theatrical distribution with an eye for mythological stories that cut to the heart of the human experience.

Chase has been honored with the Filmmaker of the Year in 2012 for RAW Artists: Nashville, and received awards nominee recognition for his work in the Game Show industry for producing and directing 5 seasons of Esports Time! Battle for the Rose during 2022's Tempest Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada as an official nominee for Best Esports-Themed Programming alongside G4's reboot of Attack of the Show.
