Christie is a 20-something New Yorker living in a walk-up apartment with 2 straight boys who she bonds with by watching The X Factor, Love Actually, and Never Say Never: The Justin Bieber movie. If she were a Disney princess, she would be Belle (who her dog is aptly named after). If she were a Sex and the City character she would, of course, like to be Carrie, but is actually more of a Miranda. She has never watched a full episode of The Kardashians or The Jersey Shore and plans to keep it that way.

Although Christie is a proud alum of NYU’s Tisch film school, she is grateful to now be able to talk in the open without getting the “hipster evil eye” about liking movies that aren’t either black & white, in a foreign language, or directed by Stanley Kubrick. In her first script writing class, the professor made her change a scene where an arguing couple made up and kissed in the rain. (Apparently that is the number one cliche you are not allowed to include in film school scripts.) Christie argued that sometimes rain is necessary. What would the ending of Breakfast at Tiffany’s be like if Holly ran after Fred/Paul in the sun? It’d be really NOT powerful, and you would kind of feel bad for the cat when Holly found him. In the rain, you’re just so relieved she finds him so he won’t catch a cold. But if it was sunny, you would want him to venture out and find a home with someone who might actually give him a name…

Christie ended up changing the script in order to get the “A”.
