CHRISTOPHER LG LOWDEN
Biography and filmography of the director
From a very early age, Christopher LG Lowden has wanted to tell stories. Always fascinated by the moving image, his first passion was animation but a lack of pencil skills forced him into the live action domain. At the age of 18, during London's booming advertising industry of the mid 80's, Christopher joined a prestigious agency where he learnt not only creative skills, but also became a respected film editor. After 10 years, he was invited to start directing and since then has made numerous commercials across the world. He has also made documentaries that have been very well received on the festival circuit. Wanting to try his hand at the short form, he has made numerous short experimental films ranging from visual interpretations of French and German poetry to comic sketches. Always trying to find new and simple ways of expressing dramatic ideas, Christopher has not developed a single style, preferring to pick styles as appropriate. His next project is a philosophical farce!
