Chris Speer
Senior Project manager
cspeer@communilux.com
Chris spent the better part of a decade working as a Technical Director for non-profit theatres before joining a custom millwork shop where he learned high-end fabrication methods. He then worked to preserve and renovate historic homes in North Carolina. With his variety of construction experience, Chris decided to consult part-time for film, TV, theatre, and various other types of industries. A short venture back into theatre brought him to Texas in the fall of 2019, leading him to join the InProduction team in February 2020.
Today, Chris leads our project management team, ensuring that projects leave the warehouse having met the highest standards and quality to provide the best product possible for our clients. He believes that having the right person for each project is instrumental in its success and loves being part of the process.
