Christian Dines
Film Writer, Director, Editor
I am a film maker based in the UK. I have been working in this industry for 22 years altogether and as a result have worked in almost every capacity of the process from writing, photographing, editing and directing films, to anything from Foley work, animation, restoration and cinema projection. I've shot 60+ short films, just completed my first full length feature and am in development of my second.

Hi there... This is the first of your videos I've seen - by chance... I absolutely agree. I've been writing and directing films for 20 years. I'm only now just beginning to gain some (however small) recognition or rather my films are. I enjoy films that just entertain (and there's nothing wrong with that) but I've never been interested in making films that just entertain. I knew I wanted to be a film maker when I was nine after I saw a film that made me think about life, my place in it and how I could make it better... and I strive everyday to make films that do the same. Otherwise I wouldnt do it. My industry (particularly at my level) wants only certain kinds of films (action/horror/SciFi)... I love all genres but the industry has focused in on these genres in a very simplistic way as they have become aware of how to sell higher numbers of units of these genres to the public. It's all about a quick buck. I'm not comlaining. I'm very fortunate as I am able to make films very cheaply with high production values, so no one is able to justify stopping me making the films I think should be made or seen. Which are films that matter. Who knows if they will be seen by the masses either in my life time or after. What's important is that I make them. Period. If they have any value they will find their place in good time. All the best to you my friend.
