CHRISTY X-NC17
Anti-Racist Queer Mixed BIPOC Filmmaker: Script Writer, Producer, Director
Guerrilla Films, LLC., est. 2009
I am Christy X, sometimes Christy Nc17, Anti-Racist Filmmaker [beyond the scope of social justice], granny and community builder [accomplice]. By the age of four, I knew that film was my passion, and at 36, I was driven to finally pursue my dream. As a single parent, I successfully completed my AAS degree through the Seattle Central College Film and Video program in June of 2011. My desire to capture the raw beauty of reality drew me into filmmaking, heart first. My process is straightforward and simple, it begins with a passionate and well-planned idea, supported by countless hours of research, and the perseverance and guts to seek out all the right contacts, staffing the project with a top-notch crew and scheduling the entire film in pre-production. But most importantly: I uncover the heartbeat and pulse that lives in the body of each story. My life experience inspires me to tackle controversial issues, support marginalized groups, and showcase challenging topics with integrity and truth. The combination of my creativity, self-motivation, compassion, and technical skills enhance my unique style of filmmaking. When creating a film, I stay true to my vision and focus on the bigger picture. I am firmly rooted in my ideas and concepts, from the beginning of the script writing process, until the very end, when we add the finishing touches during editing.
