ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Christopher Sharp, a freelance filmmaker based in New York's Hudson Valley. I earned my B.A. in Filmmaking with a concentration in Directing from Ramapo College, where I wrote, produced, and directed several award-winning short films. Most recently, my senior thesis film, Grave Dolls, received Best Directing and Best Screenwriting in April 2026.

My work is rooted in visual storytelling, with a particular passion for horror, production design, and expressive lighting. Whether I'm directing actors, shaping a set's atmosphere, or building a color palette through light, I'm drawn to creating immersive worlds that bring emotion and character to the screen.

MY FILMMAKING APPROACH

Over the past few years, I've worked across a wide range of student and independent productions, gaining experience in nearly every corner of the filmmaking process. As a director, I believe in leading with preparation, enthusiasm, and a clear creative vision. As a collaborator, I'm especially drawn to the visual side of storytelling: color, production design, props, wardrobe, and makeup. 

If there's one thing my collaborators quickly learn about me, it's that I'm incredibly detail-oriented. I care deeply about making every frame intentional, while keeping productions organized, efficient, and enjoyable for everyone involved.

MY MISSION

I grew up finding comfort in monsters. While others saw horror as something frightening, I saw it as a world of imagination, empathy, and escape. Since the age of six, I've dreamed of becoming a horror filmmaker, and my mission remains the same: to create stories that make the strange feel familiar, the misunderstood feel seen, and the darkness feel a little less lonely.
