Life Stories

I create life story films for families – a precious keepsake for future generations. The core of each film is a sensitively conducted interview, edited with family photographs, archive, music and footage

Heritage

In 2018 I collected and shared hundreds of stories of people’s lived experiences as part of the South Gloucestershire Second World War Stories Project. This included making ten short films.

In 2020 Gloucester History Festival went online. I created a series of short films around the cathedral and city centre with British Sign Language presenter, Olivier Jamin.

“Working with Christina was a great experience, her attention to detail and her ability to relate to people enabled us to make a video that far exceeded our expectations”
MARTIN BURTON, BEM; CHRUCH WARDEN; ST FRANCIS CHURCH, KEYNSHAM

“ Thank you so much for the lovely film you made of Dad. It meant a huge amount to know that some of his life story has been saved and shared. You did such a brilliant job and it was an important process in the last period of his life.”

Community

Community groups and charities have a story to tell. A well made video is a compelling way to get that message across. I’ve worked on films about climate action projects, food poverty, growing food, mental wellbeing, church groups, dance classes, and more….

About Me

My background is in broadcast documentaries, educational, community and heritage films. I work sensitively to reach the essence of the story. I am an experienced interviewer, researcher, recordist, editor and director.

I have my own filming and editing kit, meaning that I can keep costs down to make simple films which are accessible and affordable. I can also bring in professional colleagues if the project requires it.

I have an MA in Creative Writing for Children and Young People. I’ve worked as a teacher in a women’s prison, facilitated community groups and was the Story Project Worker on the South Gloucestershire Second World War Stories Project
