CHRISTIAN MASTERS
Actor, Stunt/Fight Choreographer, Production Designer, Makeup
Christian is a guileless sellsword who spent his childhood in the South Pacific. Once a year a man with a generator and enough fuel to power a 12-inch TV would visit, and the whole island would watch American Ninja 6. That’s when Christian fell in love with film. His career since has included performances as a living statue in venues like Madison Square Gardens, leading revolutionary re-enactments, and dozens of appearances in film and on stage. Christian’s relationship with Dark Tower Films began as a creature performer/stunt coordinator in Bloodyback: he’s since worked on all of their projects and directed their short Valholl. Over the course of his tenure, he’s added makeup, costuming, practical effects, set-building, social media management, and, most importantly, chili preparation to his resume.
