Christian Doellner

STRANGE NEWS FROM ANOTHER STARChristian Doellner was born at some point in the last millennium in Munich, Germany. Unfortunately, as a result of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Christian would spend his school boy days transported to the middle of the the darkest sector of the America dream: Central Illinois - where Christian would hide behind headphones, book covers, and a lederhosen free smirk.In 1985, a year after graduating high school, while listening to Todd Rundgren's A Wizard A True Star for 20 hours straight on a Greyhound bus out of Darktown, Christian would realize he had a calling. This prescient delusion would manifest in Christian scoring a gig as Kyle MacLachlan's stand-in on David Lynch's surreal masterpiece Blue Velvet.High on the front row - blow back fumes of Lynch's genius, Christian would be inspired to major in Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois. Upon securing academic All-American status, and award winning journalism honors, Christian left college to write and direct Grappling - a documentary about a drug addled Pro Wrestler and his male escort Samoan tag-team partner.Fight Club writer Chuck Palahnuik said that Christian squandered his youth in the best possible ways, the best training for an artist - seeing Christian's images we think you'll agree.
