Bio

Combining a unique visual and narrative voice with technical expertise, Christopher strives to push the boundaries of cinematic storytelling.

Because of his trials and tribulations with anxiety and a history of familial mental illness, Christopher’s creative projects often explore characters that, despite deep psycho-spiritual struggles, ultimately rise and are redeemed. His stories and characters invite the viewer to dive deeply into the darkness within us all.

These projects have been described as “Bold, Primal, inspiring, and DEEP.” Christopher’s debut feature film, CALLBACK, takes the viewer through an intense and emotional one-day journey in the life of Hollywood actor Jake Bannon as he descends into despair and revenge. CALLBACK screened at several festivals, including Fort Lauderdale International, where it was one of ten American films selected and won the Spirit of Independents Award.

His second feature film, DOSE OF REALITY, is a dramatic thriller and an intense psychological game of cat and mouse that unfolds over one evening at a seedy Los Angeles lounge. A Fade IN Screenwriting Competition semi-finalist, DOSE premiered at the 2013 Cinequest Film Festival to rave reviews and packed screenings, including a Best of the Festival encore screening.

Christopher’s short film SWIVEL SHOT, a moving story of timing, fate, and destiny, premiered at the 2016 Cinequest Film Festival. Screenings followed at the L.A. International Short Film Festival and the Zamoxis Short Film Showcase at the Laemmle in Santa Monica.

Presently, Christopher is wrapping up a short documentary entitled DYING TO LIVE, a story about a father’s love for extreme exploration and how this life-threatening work impacts his young son.

Now a devoted practitioner of Buddhist meditation and a lifelong student of human psychology, the inner complexity of human nature is what fascinates and drives Christopher creatively and spiritually.
