Christine Wood

Christine Wood is an actor, director, and multidisciplinary artist. Her work experiments with concepts of queerness, belonging and maps the topography of the self. Having grown up in the rural mountains of the Eastern Sierra, Wood has always drawn inspiration from the beauty, chaos, and fragility of the natural world.

Her most recent film Avery, about a young woman discovering her masculinity, has played in 12 festivals worldwide and won several awards including Best Short Screenplay from Buenos Aires International Film Festival and Best Performance in a Short at Nót Film Festival.“Writer/Director Christine Wood’s 'Avery' packs a punch in its tidy thirteen minutes. Wood pours her heart into the title role and is lovely to watch...an auteur in the making” - Anjelica Huston

Christine Wood is based on the Chumash, Kizh, and Tongva ancestral homelands also known as Los Angeles. She holds a BFA in Acting from California Institute of the Arts and is a graduate of Idyllwild Arts Academy.
