Christine is an expert in the history of buildings (and their real-life doppelgangers) in movies, television, and streaming, and works as a creative producer for online and in-person events. Her book "The Architecture of Suspense: The Built World in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock," was released in September 2022 from the University of Virginia Press.
She is a screenwriter in the horror and thriller genres, co-authoring a feature-length paranormal-true crime "Piney Croft," selected as an unproduced screenplay semi-finalist in four 2020 film festivals including iHorror, the Orlando Film Festival, the Northeast Film Festival Horror Fest, and the Madrid International Film Festival. Christine produced "Maravilla Handball Court: A Place That Matters," in 2010 with director Manuel Huerta, which screened at the "Love Your Shorts" Film Festival in Sanford, Florida, and worked as an advisor (additional crew) for the Ken Burns-epic series "The National Parks: America's Best Idea." She co-founded and served as Chief Creative Officer of MILA Entertainment in Los Angeles, developed with the goal of bringing diverse stories to the screen with a focus on women and LBGTQ+, and helped launch LoCo+ (a streaming platform start-up focused on regional content and creators), as Head of Creator Services.
A graduate of the University of Utah and the University of Virginia, Christine is also experienced in development, raising more than $2.5 million for non-profit causes. She is an architectural evangelist, speaking at more than forty professional conferences and contributing to seven books and numerous magazine articles.
