ABOUT
Chris is a fiction and nonfiction storyteller who has produced, written and directed many movies, video series and plays since finishing his first play in 1993, a hip-hop inspired “folk operetta” told entirely in rhymes with live music accompaniment.
Chris and Susan began to collaborate which inspired Chris to start an agency. As an activist he has produced dozens of creative social justice actions with Cause Effect Agency, a company he founded to support worthy causes.
Raised in a large working-class family in Racine, Wisconsin, Chris attended Brown University where he studied film, theater and history. He studied the Chinese language then spent one semester studying at Nanjing University in a “proto-capitalist” China (on a bike) in 1992.
After college a series of seemingly random events led him to Goldman Sachs and a partner-track job as an investment analyst. But after 15 months he walked away and with a recommendation from Gwyneth Paltrow, one of his wife’s childhood friends, Chris secured a job assisting writer/director Tim Robbins in making "Dead Man Walking." The movie was nominated for 3 Academy Awards, with Tim’s partner Susan Sarandon wining the Oscar for Best Actress.
Chris is currently pitching new projects for television while seeking clients with intriguing stories to tell in any medium.
