Sydney Film School
Christian grew up in the southwest of Sydney and has always had a passion for the arts. He has trained as an Actor, Singer and dancer for many years and has trained in institutions such as: WAAPA, NIDA, ATYP and AIPA. In 2019 Christian decided to take the reign's on his career as a story teller and study filmmaking at Sydney Film School in waterloo.
His first year saw him create his first ever film titled "Kevin" which won Best film, Best director, Best Sound and Best Production design for semester 1 at the Sydney Film School festival in 2019. In his final year Christian wrote, produced and directed his latest film "Femme" which is due to have its first screening at the Sydney Film School Festival in Sydney November 26th 2020
After reading a few scripts on which to pitch for film school, I came across "Kevin" and it gave me a good chuckle.
I remember hearing Brendon Taylor's voice in my head as Kevin straight away and so I ran to him and asked if he would like to take his pants off and get punched in the face on film for me.
Luckily he agreed to come in for a read and when I paired him up with Lucy Ross for the audition I knew we were onto something fun!
Kevin is a farce comedy in which Kevin decides to hire a call girl (Shelley) because he is jealous of his wife's strange closeness with her co worker Leonard. While in the bedroom, Shelley accidentally knocks him out and all hell breaks loose.
I hope you have a laugh and enjoy the film!
