Chris Bogle is a filmmaker and artist-writer based in the North East of England who works in short and fragmentary forms. He is interested in representations of class and mobility, and his developing visual work looks at ways in which writing and making materially render the constantly eroding and reconstructing subjectivity of the artist.
Chris recently completed a practice-based PhD at Northumbria University, Adverse Camber, which hijacks and reformulates the road novel as a way to examine new ways of countering cultures of neurotypical exclusion and social gatekeeping. Chris’ research sits at the intersection of practice research, neurodiversity, and situationist cultural critique, and asks what becomes possible when the rules of academic and creative production are subverted.
Alongside his writing and research, Chris has over two decades of experience in the screen industries. His drama work has screened at festivals internationally, including Cinequest, Carmarthen Bay, and Reykjavik International Film Festival, where The Rocketship was nominated for the Golden Egg Award for emerging talent, and selected for the Edinburgh International Film Festival Talent Lab.
His short fiction has appeared in The Belfast Review, Litro Magazine, Film Stories, and a Sans Press anthology. He was shortlisted for a New Writing North New Writer’s Award in 2023.
Before returning to academia Chris spent fifteen years as creative director of his own production company, working with clients including the NHS, Michelin, and Epic Games, on whose Unreal Engine projects he collaborated with the likes of NASA, McLaren Automotive, Oceaneering, and BMW.
