Christine Ubochi

Born in 1998, Christine is a London-based creative, with keen interests in lifting up the voices of those from underrepresented groups in society, specifically Black women. After working with the BBC on her short film, The Skin I Move In - a simple portrayal of women existing beyond their relationships with men - and the audio drama En Justice, Christine worked as a Shadow Director on Alice Seabright's BBC1 show, Chloe. She wrote her first screenplay in 2018 after feeling uninspired by her university degree and created a short film with friends. From then on, she has sought out opportunities to make her ideas a reality and hopes to continue sharing stories, whether that's through her own productions or working with others. She has two scripts in development. After working on the short filmed extracts from The Promise and Great Circle, she is alternating between re-reading them both, and trying not to be biased before the Booker winner is decided. Christine directed David Jonsson (Industry, Deep State, Endeavour) reading from The Promise and Ria Zmitrowicz (On the Edge, Three Girls and BAFTA Breakthrough Brits 2018) reading from Great Circle.
