About Christopher

CHRISTOPHER KULIKOWSKI
Director / Writer / Post Production Supervisor / Cinematographer:

I started working in production and post-production soon after my graduation from Syracuse University in 1987. I secured my first job in the motion picture business with legendary visual effects pioneer and director, Douglas Trumbull. Within a few years I ascended to the head of post, working on a number of 70mm, 60 frame per second Showscan films.

Over the years I've contracted my varied abilities with many production companies and producers. I have worked as a director, producer, writer, cinematographer, editor and post-production supervisor. My vast experience has not only strengthened my abilities in the area of production and post-production but has given me an edge in the creative and technical side of filmmaking.

In 1996, I was the senior associate producer and post supervisor on the ABC live action and animated presentation of Chuck Jones’ “Peter and the Wolf”, which won the Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Special. Shortly thereafter, I went on to direct my self-financed sci-fi drama, “Aurora”. The indie feature generated several awards at numerous festivals throughout the United States and Europe and was instrumental in securing a writer / director position on the sci-fi actioner “Retrograde,” distributed domestically by Warner Bros. home video and several foreign companies.

In 2005, I became the head of post-production for SBE’s Element Films, working on a number of varied productions including the Kevin Costner thriller “Mr. Brooks.” In 2007, nearly at its operational start, I served as the head of post production for Relativity Media. There I oversaw all aspects of post supervision, finishing, delivery and exhibition on over sixty theatrical, digital and home video productions. Notable blockbusters include the Oscar winning “The Fighter”, “Dear John”, “Immortals”, “Safe Haven” and “Limitless.”

Currently, I'm actively developing a passions project as a director / writer. Under my own shingle Rara Avis Films, I am adapting for the screen Alistair Faulkner’s atmospheric gothic stage play, “Victor”, based on Mary Shelley's “Frankenstein”.

Unique traits: I think of myself as a terrific collaborator who enjoys working with gifted and talented people in the pursuit of creating amazing stories and cinema.
