A MOTIVATED MAN

A MOTIVATED MAN is a feature-length drama about the man who created mustard gas, Fritz Haber. It’s the story of a brilliant man whose blind patriotism made him a war criminal.

Fritz’s journey takes him from Jewish outsider to one of history’s most hated men. However, Fritz’s story isn’t so simple as we also explore how this brilliant chemist single-handedly ended famine across the globe.

A MOTIVATED MAN was awarded the Sloan Science & Film Student Screenwriting Grant and was selected for a Tribeca Film Institute Student Screenwriting Fellowship. The script is also a quarter-finalist in the 2020 Nicholl Fellowship.

THE DEVIL'S TEETH

The Devil’s Teeth is a one-hour drama about a family in crisis.
The family is small and biracial.
The crisis is a snuff tape.

The show is set in 1990’s New Jersey, a blue collar town starting to shed its former image of corrupt politics and crime. The series follows Pamela, the only black deputy in an all white sheriff’s office, and Jeff, her estranged father and rogueish conman.

When a snuff-tape surfaces that answers what happened to Pamela’s mother so many years ago, father and daughter are locked in a mission to solve the brutal murder despite their long-standing tensions.

THE DEVIL'S TEETH earned Christopher a Film Independent Episodic Television Fellowship. The script was also a finalist in the Sundance Episodic Lab.
