Christopher Arcella

writer/director/designer

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Christopher earned a Bachelor's Degree from the Virginia Tech College of Architecture where he worked as an assistant to the director of the Virginia Tech Multimedia Lab. Following graduation he gained experience as a designer at IDEO San Francisco and Bludot before running a design service of his own. After a few successful years, he decided to switch his main focus to writing and directing films. To help with the transition, he spent over a year working part time at the office of independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. Christopher has written and directed over twenty five shorts and one feature, and has screened them at numerous festivals including Scanners (The Film Society of Lincoln Center) and the San Francisco International Film Festival.
