Christo also talks about the importance of “finding your story” and how luck played a roll in the outcome of the movie. Even though Christo has seen the film hundreds of times, he describes how he became extremely emotional at the end of the film’s public premiere. He also discusses the un-orthodox distribution of the movie by “taking it to the swimmers” and using digital theater on-demand.

Born and raised close to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Christo has been a sports fan his whole life. Christo studied film and theater at Dartmouth College and then went on to graduate work in film production from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.

Christo was Associate Producer on Mark Harris’ Academy Award winning documentary “The Long Way Home”. As director Christo has been nominated for a James Beard award for the Food Network show Into the Fire: Trio.
