Christine is a photographer and filmmaker who has always had a passion for visual arts, drama, and the weird and wonderful. Prior to graduating from Sheridan College where she studied photography, Christine was heavily involved in theatre and playwriting and became enthralled with storytelling. She wrote and directed several plays while still in high school.
While studying photography she learned how to become a more visual storyteller and explored the vast creative options that photography offered. Since graduating, she has photographed a number of talented artists and celebrities such as director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Lords of Dogtown, Thirteen), screen legend Karen Black, and Laura Vandervoort (V, Smallville) to name a few. Her images have been seen in multiple publications including the Toronto Star and the National Post.
Drawn back to the world of storytelling, she gradually incorporated theatre and photography and turned to filmmaking. She started by working on music video sets for artists including Theory of a Deadman, Social Code, Marianas Trench, and Faber Drive.
In 2007, she directed her first short film, HIGHWAY, which aired on CBC Television. In 2010 and 2011 she shot and directed several short film projects including ACE OF HEARTS, QUEEN OF CLUBS, and HARVEST. She has several new short film projects in development, slated for shooting in 2012 and is also developing her first feature film.
As an educator and consultant, she has hosted workshops and helped hundreds learn photography and filmmaking techniques, and has worked with major companies including Shaw Media and Corus Entertainment.
