Who Makes Urban Animals?


The Moving Image Company (TMI) was founded in 2002 by Director Christian Cisneros. Building on his own growing reputation as a detail oriented Producer and a highly creative Director, Christian developed TMI into a "go to" company for music videos, broadcast advertising, corporate content and more - while developing film and television product with a number of other associated production companies. In 2008, long time associates, Robert Stewart and Richard Watson officially joined the company and it has continued to grow even during the recent economic downturn. With more than 35+ years of combined experience in film, video, music and web development the company has become a bonafide "show runner" for broadcast/cable programming and are actively developing feature films with associated companies in Los Angeles and New York. With development offices in South Florida and Los Angeles, the company is beginning to reap the benefits of years of hard work. In 2010 TMI plans to launch three new shows in the Reality Television genre through several different outlets, including Lance Robbin's company, Lightwire Media, in Los Angeles.

Richard Watson - Producer/Editor


Born and raised in central Texas, Richard has spent most of his life involved in the music and film community.

He has worked in countless productions in every position imaginable learning and absorbing any and all information that will one day lead him to the creation of the next "Great American Film".



Chad Brewer - Director Of Photography


Born and raised in Texas, Chad showed an interest in the arts from a very early age. These curiosities brewed and divulged themselves as scribbled drawings, stories, events; epics that transpired in his mind which he struggled to put to paper. His first stop motion picture was filmed at age 8 with no inclination of it being a form of media. It consisted of toys transforming and engaging in battle, though crude animation at best, it was quite inventive for someone so young. But it wasn't until enlisting in a 3d animation and arts degree that these interests really began to take shape. It was here that Chad began meeting several like minded individuals who later would form a working relationship in the industry. During the course of his schooling, word of a horror film shooting in the area began to spread throughout the city. By chance Chad was hired onto the production as an assistant cameraman after portraying one of the zombies in the film. Thrilled with the direction life was taking him, his schooling began to take a back seat to his sudden passion for filmmaking, and though a few of his professor's were encouraging, it quickly became apparent that he would have to abandon his instruction to achieve his goals.
