Christine Burrill
Filmmaker, author, cinematographer and still photographer
Christine Burrill was born in Long Beach, California and is based in Los Angeles and upstate, New York. She received her B.A.(Phi Beta Kappa) at the University of Southern California and studied cinematography at USC’s film school. She has spent over thirty years looking at the world through the camera lens, pen in hand. She is an award winning filmmaker, author, cinematographer and still photographer. Her photographs have been exhibited in the United States, Europe and Latin America. She has traveled the world on many documentary films for HBO, BBC and PBS. One of her passions is the Brazilian Amazon, where she spent twelve years photographing and learning.
She is currently writing books, an art heist thriller in her home town of Los Angles based in the Cambodian-American community, a cozy mystery set in her village in upstate New York, and she will soon revise her first novel, a thriller about the destruction of the Amazon and the murder of an Indian tribe (based on her experiences living with them).
