Educated in England, Christian is half Danish and has spent much time in Scandinavia, where he began his career in television.

He wrote and directed Pale Faces and Stranger Looks (1994) as part of the experimental documentary and film forum led by the head of the Hungarian film school. PALE FACES AND STRANGER LOOKS is a raw and uncompromising look at the lives of prostitutes in Oslo, Norway, and was subsequently shown on Scandinavian television the following year.

Christian then wrote and directed HARRY (1996), a pilot feature via Lars Von Triers' company, Zentropa Entertainment and Angel Arena Film ApS (Denmark). A bitter, sweet Danish comedy, complete with an original jazz soundtrack, HARRY charts the highs and lows of a newly divorced man, forlornly chasing women half his age, starring Ulrich Thomsen (The Celebration) and Colin Campbell (My Beautiful Launderette and The Leather Boys).

Christian has just completed a movie in LA and has embarked upon his latest with producer Don Carmody (Chicago, Silent Hill and the Resident Evil series):
