Christopher J. Thomas: WRITER & director

Sometimes, we all need to escape. Life can be overwhelming, but movies have the power to transport us—to new places, new perspectives, and even a better understanding of ourselves. For Writer/Director Christopher J. Thomas, film has always been the ultimate getaway—his refuge during his pre-teen and teenage years and even into adulthood (because let’s be honest, growing up isn’t always fun).

This love for cinematic escapism fuels his passion for storytelling. Christopher creates heartfelt, down-to-earth films that explore the universal struggles of everyday life. More than anything, he is dedicated to uplifting the next generation—crafting stories centered on strong female leads navigating young romance, conflicts with parents, and the rollercoaster of friendships.

His inspiration comes from the powerful women who have shaped his life—his mother, sister, grandmothers, and teachers—all of whom have left a lasting imprint on the filmmaker he is today. Through his work, Christopher hopes to bring authenticity, inspiration, and a sense of belonging to audiences who, like him, have found solace in the magic of movies.
