As an Honors Graduate from The Center for Media in New York City, Chepell Chase worked extensively as an assistant editor at The Tape House Editorial Company, rapidly rising through the ranks to become a Duplication Manager and Post Production Supervisor as he embarked on a highly productive journey into television and film media.

In his role as Live Events Production Engineer with the Globix Corporation he directed and engineered projects for companies such as Verizon, Ford Motors and Xerox which allowed him further experience in a field in which he was exceptionally suited.

Recently he served as post producer on B.E.T J's new interview talk show Parallel Paths, and its gospel music video show "Lifted" which is now in its 2nd season.

His biggest challenge was the much anticipated 8th Annual State of the Black Union mini-series which aired this fall on the TV-One network which chronicled the 400 year anniversary of the history of Jamestown Virginia and the historical impact of African Americans in North America.

Beyond the confines of television and film, Chepell has produced the annual Spring / Summer and Fall / Winter DVDs for Gucci America for the past 4 years.
