In 1977, a seven-year-old boy held his father's heavy camera.

After seeing Star Wars, he wanted to film his own space battles.

Christopher said, "I re-filmed them off the screen, thinking no one would notice."

He is red-green colorblind, but he only found out from a test.

He says, "As far as I'm concerned, I see a full spectrum of color."

Years later, he would shoot his first feature on weekends for six thousand dollars.
