Christopher's roles as a videographer, editor, and movement director encompass various notable projects, including dance films; feature-length In Light Of Those You Love for Retrospect Dance Theatre, dance film series To the Ocean Floor and The Three Visions, both in collaboration with Jordan Hunt. Crossing into the music video world, Christopher produced, filmed and edited Circus of Desire for Grammy-nominated musician Olivia Chaney, Ocean Floor for Jordan Hunt and was assistant movement director to Masumi Saito on Love Lost for Alto Arc with Isamaya Ffrench.

In the podcast space, Christopher is the editor of Candid Convos with Jona Dance, which is currently airing its second season and is the videographer and editor of Deep Down with Jordan Hunt. Unlike the usual podcast video format, these served as art films/visualisers to accompany the audio podcast. Both of these projects are available to stream on Spotify and YouTube
