WRITER/DIRECTOR - CHRISTOPHER MALINOWSKI - (1969) - Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Chris is a Pennsylvania-based filmmaker who believes in SHOOTING, EXCLUSIVELY, ON FILM as opposed to using a digital format. He has written/directed several 16-millimeter black and white shorts ("Son of a Fishlicker", "Metz Committed", "Celestial Self") and the 16-millimeter color featurette, "'ALMS,' YOU SAY". The latter film is the impetus for this page, as Chris is interested in sharing/borrowing production information with/from like-minded individuals who are willing to refinance their entire being in order to manifest capital enough to shoot a 15-minute piece on 16mm/35mm film in lieu of making a digital feature for a comparable amount of dollar. HIS INTENT, as a filmmaker, is to construct regionally-based, personal dramas meshed with the intangible elements of a rural/suburban magical realism, and deliver these stories ON FILM, with no digital enhancements. Chris is also the founder of the band THE COLLINGWOOD (myspace.com/thecollingwood) for which he plays guitar and sings lead vocals.
