D for Daughter

Born and raised in Montreal, Christine’s thirst for life led her on an eclectic creative path. With an undergraduate degree in film editing from Université du Québec à Montréal, Christine worked on film sets as a Scripty, all while dipping her toes in Yoga teaching, Energy healing, Early Childhood Education, photography and graphic design. She worked in France, studied in Greece and traveled across Europe before making her way back to the art of storytelling as a film director, pulling from her diverse, worldly experiences. Currently pursuing her MFA in documentary film directing at the UCLA school of Theatre Film and Television, Christine strives to give representation to outcasts and underdogs. Her upbringing in a French-Canadian and Serbian family, with an Autistic family member, informs her progressive outlook on cultural diversity and inclusion. She is inspired by themes of coming of age, connection, and double lives, while fervently advocating for women’s rights and gender equality.
