Screenwriter / writer-director · Atlanta
Different stories.
Same handwriting.
Features, shorts, and the occasional thing I’m trying to get made. What’s here is the work I’m actively standing behind.
Featured screenplay · Current priority
An aspiring musician returns home convinced he is the one carrying his brother’s death the worst, and slowly realizes everyone he left behind has been fighting a private war of their own.
Christopher’s MFA thesis screenplay, recognized on the festival circuit and rewritten over years rather than abandoned after the first good version.
Three more from the selected slate. A different set each visit.

Selected Journal
My dad had a pillow. It’s mine now.
Growing up, I thought acceptance was one of the highest things you could earn.
The first movie that made me want to make movies was not the kind of movie filmmakers usually cite when they are trying to sound impressive.
Some scripts have done well in rooms I was not in. Every one is on the record at the exact round it reached.
Want to read something, make something, hire me, interview me, or tell me exactly where I got something wrong?
