Biography

Christopher Paul Maher grew up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. He made his first film when he was fourteen, an experimental film with a camera he hired from a local rental store for twenty four hours. From this moment Christopher has worked tirelessly to fashion his own film and photographic legacies.

Christopher studied Film, History and English Literature at the Australian National University. It was here that he was introduced to some of his greatest influences, including Goddard, Malle, Menzel, Wenders, Fellini, Rossellini, Chaplin, Wilder, Welles and of course Hitchcock, who Christopher cites as his greatest influence.

Christopher has made over 15 short films, his first Pocket was made in his school years, and ran for 21mins. He completed his first feature 'A Touch of Courage The Enlightenment' in 2007. He has also completed shorts including 'The Man in the Black Sock' (2009), 'London Bridge' (2012), 'Epitaph' (2005), 'Nobody Can Live on Treacle Alone,' (2012) & 'The Man Who Shot John Wayne' (2018).

Christopher is an experienced writer, director, editor and sound designer, and enjoys the challenge of perfecting his art in all of these fields. He has never received any financial support or backing, using his own money, to produce his stories, films and photography and he has always continued to strive to ensure the best possible art with what he has.

Christopher is proud to announce a new feature film, 'The Boe Sisters' due for release sometime in 2019.
